Mercs to Rosie ratios, please add your own, Dime searchers!!

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, I was just wondering what all of your mercury dime to roosevelt time ratio is...

Please express this ratio as the following...


Number of mercury dimes : Number of roosevelt dimes

For example, I have 1 mercury dime and 42 silver roosies(including 2 proof silver roosies)

so my ratio would be 1:42

Thanks for any input. HH!

Last 3 months from appx 43 boxes and some CWR;

78 FDR's, 8 Merc's, 2 Ca's, and 1 Barber

usually average about 2 dimes per box

so about 1:10

Since Jan 2007.

Dimes searched: 1,969,831
Merc: 74
Roosevelt: 1021
Canadian silver: 74
Barber: 2
Seated: 2

Merc : Roosevelt = 1 : 13.9

And almost all of mine were 1 here or 2 there. 2 bags had 4 and 1 bag had 3. In other words, no big scores of mercs. Did have one bag with 50 silver roosevelts in it and 1 merc, but removing that only makes my ratio like 1 : 13.3 or thereabouts.

For 2011, crh merc/rosie 1 : 16

dirtfishing better than 2 : 1 (28 mercs, 12 rosies)

I'm not good with math...and I am just guessing here:

3:100 ?

Simplify it to 1:33.3 repeating forever. Or roughly 1 Merc per 33 silver rosies.

Out of 1200 silver dimes since I started in January 2010, my ratio has been 85% Roosevelt and 15% Mercury.

Probably 1:12. I'm nearing 450 silver dimes I think

 

[unclehuckelberry]

I've gone through 1 brinks box (found nothing) and about $320 in CWR and found 5 Rosies.

 

[FormerTeller]

1:27 not counting the major haul I found,

1:20 including everything.

 

[sagittarius98]

I am currently at:

4 Mercs: 64 Rosies or
1:16

Also have 7 80% Canadians and a nice 1953 El Savador 25 Centavos 90% that I found today.

Good find on the 25 centavos. My only foreign silver in the wild is an 80% South Africa 3 pence, 1943

I have just changed my ratio... I came across more CRH silver dimes, not recantly found, but from the past...

0:13(one dime is a 1964 canadian)

so this brings my average up to 1:55
