My $5,000 study of dimes

[fistfulladirt]

My cwr dimes have been lousy the last year or two. I decided to look at my average from just the first month or so of the new year, involving $2k in boxed dimes vs $2,900 in cwr. It's not too difficult for me to get $1k or more in cwr's from just a bank or two, but I have several different sources, seems like they are just not producing like they used to.
The boxes continue to give up the goods.

I've found 24 silver dimes from $4,900 searched this year, or, 1 silver per $204.
The boxes ($2,000) have produced 9 rosies, 3 mercs, and 2 silver canadians for 1 silver per $142 searched.
The customer-wrapped ($2,900) have produced 8 rosies and 2 canadians for 1 silver per $290 searched.

I've hit the cwr dimes hard the last couple years hoping for a solid roll. None so far, over $100,000 searched.

The $800 in cwr dimes I picked up today gave up 1 silver rosie and a ratty '65 canadian.
The box gave up 3 silver rosies and 1 '64 canadian.
And somebody dumped a handfull of Caymans.

Thanks for the stats: I am finding approx 1.4 silvers per box.

I'm at just over 1 silver per box but finding about 5 silver per $250 worth of CWR!

Reminds me of great days gone past. Hit that area hard my friend, while the getting is good.

My averages for boxes went down from 2 per box down to 1.6 per box in the past few months. I think there is more competition than we can even begin to acknowledge due to the internet's amplifying effects on information dissemination. CRHing is like the gold fever for the 21st century, and I personally found CRH on youtube almost 2 years ago, and the hobby has likely grown by a hundred fold at minimum.

I was doing alright on CWR dimes myself, but, its gone downhill as of this month. I got skunked big time, if not worse, I might have even been weaseled, got 4 pennies today out of $200 in CWR dimes. 0 in my two brinks boxes of dimes, one of them, the teller dropped on the ground, and half of them had dimes falling out the end, defeating the entire purpose of getting a brinks box to begin with.

Too bad they are Cayman nickels, and not dimes. The Cayman dollar is pegged at C$1 to USD$1.20. I got one yesterday.

I love math... If you look at the BIG numbers you'll see some consistency. In my neck of the woods it's 2 to 3 silver dimes per $1000 sorted. Great finds. Keep it up.
