There are quite a few folks that pick dimes but no many do quarters ( low % of keepers ) ...if I remember right a box of quarters is 500.00 and 200.00 for dimes and bags are $1000.00/ each at least the big bags are ... I dont pick anything but halves but someone that does pick other coins will chime in and will be more helpful, best of luck , Ed

Let me correct my buddy Ed......you have to excuse him sometimes......age I guess, but don't say anything to him okay.......a box of dime is actually $250. Sorry Ed...couldn't resist........ :wink: Okay, your turn now.

I search dimes occasionaly and probably average 1 or 2 silver dimes per box. As for the quarters, I don't mess with them. Like Ed mentioned....very low keeper rate. Your best bet of the two would be the dimes.

If you do try either....good luck.

Thanks Gentlemen, I've been Searching Halves only now for a few months, today was a ZERO day, nothing out of 2 boxes, got to pick up another 2 tomorrow, maybe they'll be better, I was wondering about the dimes though, I may try a box next Tuesday, since I've already turned in my order for Monday

I like to search dimes for a change from halves. I find 1-4 silver in a $250 box. I searched a $1,000 bag of quarters and found no silver. I did find all but 2 state quarters so put together a second book.

I do quarters and dimes I have better luck with dimes. I average 1 silver quarter in about $2500 and 2 silver dimes in $500 I get them by the bag, and the bank here bags dimes and quarters at $500 each.

Just finished going thru 4 boxes of dimes totaling $1000. Got 3 out of 1 box, the rest, zip.

Thats much better than I do with boxes of halves.

10 is the new 50

If I can't pull Halves or "BIG DOLLARS" out of a bank, I buy up all the dimes they will sell me. "What No Dimes"? I'll buy up Nickles. No Nickles ? I'll buy Penny's.

"Did you say you have lots of Quarters"?......No thanks. LOL
