Hi I switched from doing brinks wrapped rolls to doing either loomis or garda wrapped dimes and found this box from 2008 compared to a new box from 2012 as shown in the pictures below. Some of the veterans here on this forum is this what you seen in 2008 compared to 2012.

Nice finds. Been searching dimes for years. I see no difference now in the amount of silver dimes found as opposed to say, five years ago.
 
I would think that when years goes by there should be less and less silver in circulation due to people coin roll hunting and removing them from circulation and also the fact the U.S. mint produces new coins. That it would be in correlation to finding less silver.
 
Here's a tip: Find out what banks that have opened 3-5 years ago. Now compare the results with banks that do not have a high volume commercial business. Those are your honey-holes. Banks that are newly opened are mandated to be stocked by a corporate predetermined amount. These banks are then left storing this initial stocking until they exhaust their inventory. I have one bank that I was fortunate to see into their walk-in vault. They had dimes stockpiled since 2007.

But people still cash silver in.
