The dimes I order come from the "vault" as my tellers say. Paper wrapped rip and tears that are marked with the "Fed's" company name that rolls the coin. I have found that the average of customer wrapped vs "fed" box is close to the same, 10 silvers per 10,000 dimes. Thats alot of coin to handle with such a meager return.BBcardsRI said:By boxes do you mean those like... FED rolled rip and tear rolls that you can't reuse?
You can expect to do nearly as well from those in my experience as you can from the customer wrapped rolls.

If I search $5k boxes in dimes and get 50, and search $5k boxes in halves and get 0 (my average), I guess I'll stick with dimes. Thats like pulling 10 90% silver halves.
I'm in this for the long run, bigger pile. It's too bad all the banks in my area (alot) all get their boxes from the same supplier, I just got tired of finding nothing in halves boxes, box after box after box. (1 40% out of 10 boxes.) I don't care what anyone says, that is discouraging.
