I don't even live in Canada and I've snagged almost 100 Of those silver dimes in less than 5 years. I get about 20 per steel per $100 US. I seperate them then run a quick magnet over 'em. I can always pick out the silver ones by patina, but just in case...
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Just tried a box of quarters last week on a whim, because I haven't searched them in a while. For good reason. Once again I found nothing of any significance whatsoever, and no silver as per usual. The highlight of the box was finding a Costa Rican 10 Colones in the first roll.

I hate when the only thing of interest is in the first roll. Then there is 49 more rolls of NOTHING! BOOOOOO. I have had that happen on too many occasions. I've also had it the other way. After searching 49 rolls of nothing, and had lost all hope I stumbled across some silver.
For the record, I have given up on roll hunting for silver. I only do it to fill holes in my nickel and small cent folders.

Has anyone ever found a silver dime or quarter in a new box from brinks or just from the customer wrapped rolls? Seems like most are post 2001.

Silverwolf- Do you find much silver dimes in CWRr? I just searched a box of quarters (CRW) and found no silver but, one 1968. Checked it with a magnet and.....its not silver!

While you're looking for the silver, keep an eye out for the elusive 69 large date. Them nickel dimes are being removed from circ. as well! Would I be safe to assume the value of this coveted dime is going to skyrocket when they're potentially no more to be found?  Vance |

I buy boxes of quarters and dimes and they key is to get rolls that are customer wrapped...if I get a box of quarters that have been banked wrapped I wont even find 1 quarter older that 1999....if I get rolls of quarters from the desk and laying around at the bank that customers have wrapped I usually get 1 silver quarter for every 15 rolls...thats pretty good. I dont have much luck with dimes....but maybe 1 silver in a box average....

1 silver per 15 cwrs? wow thats incredible. On a side note...how many LD 1969 have ever been found in circulation? I doubt there are any, as I recall they were not issued as business strikes ?

As of 2008 16 of the large date variety have been certified. As of 2013 I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer that.(I do know that at least 4 have been found in the wild.) The rest of the L.D's Again I don't know. Edited by collectall

I've found silver dimes in my change. I have never found a silver quarter.. not even a 1991, which obviously is not silver but a scarce year.
I would search threw dimes, over quarters.

Right on RoyalSilver I do too. You just never know  If you do find a large date,you'll know right off the bat (at first glance)It is very easy to spot the difference.  Edited by collectall
