I talked with my bank a few weeks ago and they were willing to sell me the bag of dimes from their coin machine when it was full. Today they called and I am going to get it soon. It has 6 to 8 weeks worth of dimes. Perfect timing too as I planned on buying a box to search while I watch football this weekend. Holiday silver? I am hoping for some. I'll update when I get through it.

Good luck man! If you're going to do dimes, doing them from a bag is the way to do it.

I've had more consistent finds in boxes but larger finds in bags.

I don't always search dimes, but when I do, I prefer dos baggies

Good luck!

Because of few coin counters in my area, I always had my banks save me the customer rolled.
That way, I had no trouble picking up $1k - $3k in dimes twice a month, between two or three banks.

I just finished the bag search. It wasn't a dream bag but it wasn't a skunk either. I got about half way through the bag yesterday and hadn't found any silver so I was feeling a bit dejected. I got back to it this morning and soon found a 1968 Canadian dime. Only 50% silver but better than a sharp stick in the eye and it lifted my spirit. I ended up finding 2 roosies after that, a 1946S and a 1962D. I will ask for the next bag from the bank and see if I can get a bag from a different bank in town with their own coin machine.

Good! Make sure to magnet test because about halve of the 1968 dimes minted were not silver.
