For cryin out loud. I've done 38 rolls of dimes (1900 dimes), and not one silver. As hard as they are to spot, and as many as there was made (19 years of Roosevelt's alone), you'd think there would be more in circulation than there are.

I think there is no more silver at all to be found in this town of mine, and surrounding areas. That's about 16 banks total. >:(

I'm moving in with LeJeuene. ;D

haha...don't feel bad, i bought a 250.00 box of dimes today myself and didn't find any silver, good thing is they were wrapped in the clear plastic so I didn't have to go through them all.
 

That would be nice, mine were all in paper rolls. What a pain. :P
 

What a bummer Scott. I have to say...you work hard at it....you definitely make the effort to find it. Keep plugging my friend.

Heck yeah...come on down....I have two extra bedrooms collecting dust.
 

I feel ya bro. The $300 before I got 9 silvers. The $400 I got today was a complete skunk. (only one bank in town will order halfs so I play with dimes when waiting)
 

i know what you mean. last year i averaged a silver dime in every $50. i just tyred $400 with none!!!!! >:(
 

Yeah, dimes are toughies. I've only done one box and I got the ol' skunk. Some people have success with dimes though.
 

they're out there. i think i've found 18 this month. of course that's thousands of dollars of dimes i've searched through.
 

Dang!!!! I thought my was ratio was bad. I find about one per box.
 

I have found one bank that still has 500.00 bags of dimes Searched 2 of the bags and found 38 silver in the first and 3 in the second not too bad, awful hard too see those darn small dates One thing I do like is its alot easier to get rid of dimes than halves. I carry them in a coffee can like Ive been saving them for awhile works every time.
 

my best roll this month had 2 kings (1940's Canada) 1 66 Canada and a 60 Roosevelt. I wish they were all like that
 

I just searched a $500 bag and only found 3. I did get a bonus because when I returned to deposit the money back into my account one of the tellers sold me a 64.
