question for all you BRINKS DIME BOX searchers

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, I am thinking on doing more brinks dime boxes. I have only done 6 boxes of dimes(brinks) and have gotten roosevelt dimes.

My area only supplies me with $250 brinks dime boxes.

What is average for a box of brinks dimes($250)?
How common are Mercury dimes? I want to get my first merc
My last 3 dime boxes have been shorted: $2.70, $2.70, and $0.70... each producing 1 dime.

I am averaging the following:
$250 Dimes 1947(p), 1963(p)
$250 Dimes NOTHING
$250 Dimes 1948(p)
$250 Dimes 1947(p)
$250 Dimes NOTHING
$250 Dimes 1963(d)


so I am averaging almost 1 dime per box, is this average?

Also, how common are those Canadians? I am pretty far from the border and average 3-5 canadian pennies per penny box and ~1 canadian nikel per nickel box.

Thanks all for reading and any response to help me out is greatly APPRECIATED!!!

I have done dime boxes and found 1 or 2 dimes per box. I found more mercs then rosies. I do much better with bags off the counting machine. I average 10 to fifteen per bag ($1000). you will find the mercs if you keep looking. Good luck and HH.

I have searched Brinks dimes in the last couple years, I found one thin silver, a merc. I don't know if I've ever been shorted, as I have never counted dimes (at least the last $100,000 worth). I only know when the machine counts them as cents.

I have been averaging 1 silver per 2 boxes. I have found lots of mercs in my boxes. You just have to keep looking and they will show up......Matt

I agree with Treeslayer. I get $500 bags and get 3 silvers or more 80% of the time. He is doing alot better than me on Mercs, but I agree with him on dimes overall. Mercs are about 12 to 15% of my dime finds.

if you are getting shorted that much on those boxes, then you need to change hobbies... it is costing you money... even finding silver... I have hunted hundreds of boxers of dimes and never been shorted like that

Brinks boxes here are notorious for having short rolls

Ive done two boxes so far. one of CWR i got 1 lone rosie, and on the other brinks, i got 3 at the end! all rosies aswell. i got lucky with my FIRST silver dime being a mercury in just $70 of CWR =]
