Question on CRH dimes

[24k dreams]

Is it common to find more Canadian silver dimes than US? I live in Northeast Ohio so I know that plays a factor but you would think you would find more US silver than Canadian. I'm not complaining because any silver is good silver. I guess another important thing to mention is that I have only hunted $465 in dimes and have found 3 80% silver Canadians and 2 Rosie's.

For the dimes I have done I have yet to find a silver Canadian, a lot of clad ones but no silver. Heck my first box I actually ended up with a nice looking merc from the 40s. I am in South Dakota and have done roughly 1.3k in dimes.

Awesome! A Merc on your first box!!! I'm still waiting for mine. Lol

I've only done a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of dimes, and it is not common to find more silver Canadian dimes than US. In fact, although I have found well over 100 silver Canadians, the ratio is about 1:15, and one silver Canadian per about $2,000 searched.

I live in northeast Ohio and I have found 6 silver canadian dimes and about 70 FDR I'd say. Where exactly do you hunt in Ohio? Just so we aren't going to go over each other's coins.

mercs are more common than silver Canadians for me.

I have done around 60+ k in dimes over the past few years and have found only 3 silver Canadians . I have found more barbers than Canadians.

So far this year I have searched $65,619.40 in dimes, a mix of boxes and bags. I have found...

278 roosies - 1 per $236
9 mercs - 1 per $7,291
16 80% canucks - 1 per $4101
7 50% canucks - 1 per $9,374

...for an overall find rate of 1 silver per $211. I live less than 90 minutes from the Canadian border though, that obviously has impact.

$465 in dimes is too small of a sample to draw any conclusions.

So far in 2013
I have found 637 silver dimes.
40 of them have been Canadian (6.3%)

Depends how close to the boarder, for one. The other is how many people are searching & saving AG. Keep on stacking, even if it's Canadian.

I range from mentor to cleveland. 5th 3rd and huntington branches mostly. You?

Ok we'll be fine I go from wadsworth (southern medina) to Fairlawn.

Thanks. It was closer to 1.5 per $250 earlier this year, but it's really tailed off. I did pick up another 3 roosies and 1 50% canuck from 2 boxes last night though!

I just pulled my first Merc out of the wild today and brought a friend named Rosie!!
