your averages are about 4-5x better than mine. way to go! I average roughly 3 war nickels every 4 nickel boxes as well as 3 silver dimes every 4-5 boxes. you must be in a good area in N. Massachusetts and S. New Hampshire.

I do primarily bags and rarely do boxes, and these are some numbers from memory so they could be off a little, but they should be close.

I average about 3 war nickels every $400 searched (or 0.75/box). Best box/bag was a partial box (30-40 rolls) a few years back with around 100 war nickels in it if memory serves. Had a $100 bag a few weeks ago with 9 or 10 war nickels in it.

I average about 3 silver dimes every $500 searched (or 1.5/box). Best box/bag was earlier this year when I got around 60 silver dimes in $500 worth. Had a similar bag a few years back with 52.

I usually get at least 1 war nickel per box, and the most I have found in a box is 3.

I have terrible luck with dime boxes. Well under 1 per 2-3 boxes searched.

Nickels on the other hand I usually get 1-2 war nickels per box with 1 buffalo per 2 boxes and one proof per 10-15 boxes.

My 2 best nickel boxes had 4 wars each; my favorite box had a war, a buffalo, a two tailed nickel, and a 1994-S proof.

I also got a two ender box (both war nickels) and that was it.
