hey folks, y'all know I get 8 boxes of dimes from 2 banks per week, 16 boxes a week... or $4,000 a week...

the last 4 weeks($16,000 in dimes, yes... 160,000 dimes only netted me 2 silver dimes, both of them were actually canadian dimes from 1968 which happen to be 50% silver and worth about $1.00 if i sold them to the coin dealer...

now i have so many dimes to dump, i should just give up dimes...

where did all the silver dimes go?









;)

I hear ya. Last 3 weeks have been multiple boxes of 2012's.
 

I think dimes have been hunted out for along time...same with quarters
 

I usually do REALLY well with quarters! Averaging approximately 1 silver quarter per every $75 searched & they're worth more than a tiny little dime in silver value =)
 

wow your quarter average is low, I am averaging more like 1 silver quarter every $50 searched... :goldtrophy:

how do you search your dimes?? A 160,000 dimes is a lot of dimes...... No way your doing that by hand.

I am just a newbie so it's probably beginners luck but the other day I picked up my first box of 250.00....hit 1 silver 1963. Not bad considering the dime horror story's ive heard such as this one. Must be beginners luck because I have made 5 trips to the bank so far and only got skunked once....

Everytime I get a roll of quarter they are solid silver I dont even do quarters anymore because of it. What happen to all the clad?
 

Dimes have really been skunky for me lately. I gave up on dimes after a recent 22 box skunk streak with not one silver dime. I decided to try some quarters. Glad I did. Jackpot. Out of the last 15 boxes of quarters,I have averaged 8 quarters per box. I don't even do half dollar boxes at all anymore. Quarter boxes are where its at !!! :headbang:.......................................................... :laughing7:

Where do you CRH at? I'll head over there since there are solid silver quarter rolls.

I hope so, because boy, they are a HELL of a lot easier to get. But I'm not into sorting quarters by hand. Halves would be ok, because you have To order them and they chew up bankroll quick so you can only go through so many anyways.... I haven't got my first box yet but I have inquired about them at enough banks to know they are a pain to get. Quarters and dimes on the other hand.....tellers love to give you these, no problem. Only problems no silver. I got one dime out of a 250 box and zero quarters but I only did 10 rolls. I hate hand searching.....
 

Man I averge 1 silver quarter for every 500 .man only 50 I would do quarters insteade of half dollars

Mrs crh, are you serious? And quarters come in $10 rolls so why is your average based on per $75 serched?
 

this topic was brought up when the "dad finds silver in dime rolls" video went viral, please keep that in mind ;)

Man, I've gave up on quarters, never found any after 2000 worth of searching, your average is awsome! Maverick.
 

I got a quarter (1963) in change for my coffee once. Posted it on here as well. It is out there, just not where you are. :laughing7:
