Well a while back my dump bank teller said that she would be more than happy to sale me the bags off the machines that way they didn't have to send them off as long as I didn't bring them back to their bank. Well today I put in my first call and am picking up $1,000 worth of dimes in an hour or so. I would hope out of 10,000 dimes to find atleast one or two silvers. In my area from boxes I usually average 1 silver out of every $100 worth.

So any predictions on how many I will pull out of 10,000 dimes??

Will update after searched!

Can anyone speak to this a little more? Only banks by me with coin counters are TD Banks and as I understand, those machines spit out silver. Not sure if it spits it out all the time, but I do find a lot of silver in the reject slot. Anyone but bags from TD Bank in NJ or on the east coast? Would it be a waste because of the machines thy use?

Not all counters reject silver. The ones at my banks don't even have a reject chute.

It'd rip the bag and you'd have dimes everywhere, then you'd get run down by some cars trying to pick them up and wind up flat as a pancake and dead. if you plan on CRH in this quantity, boxes are the only way. Unless you are in canada, then you just get some magnets, go around, and just magnetically pick them up

Well just finished up the bag and I must say that was alot better than boxes. It was nice not having to unroll all those coins! Ended up with a 54 & 63 Rosie, was hoping for more but still happy with any silver I can find!

While I was getting my bag a fellow coin roller came in and asked for $5 in pennies and then asked about halves and got $10.50 which I over heard were all skunks. The teller did tell him she had another $380 worth that I plan on stopping in first thing tomorrow after he said he bought $400 worth from them last week. I wait outside and talked to him for a few minutes and told him that is my usual dump bank for halves but he stated he found a 90% and two 40% out of the $400 he got last week so those obviously weren't my dumps! Hopefully I beat him to the other $380 thats left!
