A quick neighborhood hunt brought me a couple goodies

golden silver · Jan 30, 2009

Went for a quickie and picked up a couple small silvers. A 1948 d rosie and a 1962 d rosie plus 3 Ike dollars which I will most likely give as tips or something. Yeah that is right Golden Silver is now hunting dimes!!! Watch out Treasure Fiend!!! I am thinking I will start doing all denominations but mostly still halves. At the end of my road trips I sometimes have a few hundred bucks in my pocket after hitting every bank on my list but never get anything with it. I think I will just use it for dimes or nickels etc. What do you all think??

GC, dimes have been a little slow for me in '09. I have searched almost $5k this month, and have averaged 1 per/$140....which equals about 7 - 90% halves per 10 boxes of halves, (good or bad?). But yet, dimes are always consistent in the search for silver! FFD

I always ask for half dollars and if they do not have any I ask them for $100 or $200 in dimes.
The look on their face is priceless

and, I almost always wind up with a silver rosie or two :thumbsup:

I search hundreds of dollars a week in dimes

If I'm on the road and they have no halves I'll ask for hand rolls of dimes. I can search these while driving to the next stop and will occasionally hit a stash or two. This has been especially reliable for the out of the way locations where I can usually round up at least $100 in hand rolls per location. And if it is really bad for halves I've ended up with $600 in hand rolls to search. Since I only edge search these I can fly through them and usually pull a few. I'm down to 15 needed to complete the silver roosevelt collection. My goal is to complete it by years end - not sure if anyone else here has done it from CRH and the last few will be tough.
