What would you think?

[Silver Chronicles]

I just got to thinking about which denomination has the most silver coins still in circulation. Of course everybody would think half dollars, but I tend to think it would be dimes. I know half dollars are easier to find, but their were far less minted over the last 50 years, so I would bet a pretty penny that that is why they are easier to find. If the same amount of dimes had been minted over the last 50 years as half dollars, I am sure dimes would come out ahead. What do you all think?

halfs produce the most - end of story.

Well my 74 box skunk streak on halves has me thinking of going back to dimes- I on ly gave up dimes for a while as the new 2013s came out- hopefully in the next few weeks I can find some mixed boxes of dimes again- they where producing best for me thats for sure

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking

Buy all the 2013's and just keep dumping, then they'll be pushed through faster. I hate them too, but I do my part and get rid of them asap!

It used to be halves, up until about 2008 in my area. Rise in the price of silver brought in competition, and created a HUGE depletion of silver.
Dimes continue to produce, and (my) dime average hasn't changed much.

"I know half dollars are easier to find, but their were far less minted over the last 50 years, so I would bet a pretty penny that that is why they are easier to find."

so making less makes them easier to find

"If the same amount of dimes had been minted over the last 50 years as half dollars, I am sure dimes would come out ahead.

Dimes are good but you have to remember, at $1.44 a piece, you got to think are you really going to make money at a 1 per-box average to make seperate trips picking up the box and dumping the box at $3.29 a gallon?

It's a hobby for most though, and the profit is not important. You do raise a good point that it is still better to have 1 90% half per box than say 2-3 dimes a box.

Is one 90%er per box average or above average

Seeing the LONG skunk streaks some guys show , I'll stick with dimes. I average about 2-per box over the past year(2013), was higher in 2012.

One 90 percent half is way above average. It usually takes me about 15 boxes to find a 90

Wait a minute, you can make money doing this?

I think I've been doing this wrong!

Can someone tell me how you make money!?

:P

 

[D1MES_101]

I think that quarters and dimes have least. They are tapped so much!!!!

Half dollars have much lower montages than dimes and quarters so I would stick with halves . I'm only stuck with dimes cause halves too expensive to order by box for me. I found only 6 ounces of dimes in
1 1/2 years (not heavy searcher)
