Is It Better To Search Through Dimes Or Quarters For Silver?

Still haven't found a silver quarter in CRH after box 2. My silver totals are now 4/5000 for dimes and 0/4200 for quarters. Did find 13 1973 RCMP SB and 1 1970. The RCMP SB quarters are fairly common, but I find it's a decent tracer year to gauge whether the rolls have been picked through since they're fairly conspicuous (although less so these days).

In terms of *silver value* per time searched, I would consider 4 dimes per 2 boxes to be roughly equivalent to 1 quarter per 2 boxes. So far dimes have the edge for me, but the numbers are still low given the scarcity.

Yeah, honestly, you guys should be doing pennies for copper.

Another box of quarters searched with no silver (0/6200). Found only 8 1973 SB and 1 1970, as well as an Italian 50 Lira and a UK 10 Pence. Overall I have found quarters the least satisfying of the four small denominations to look through. Probably going to give up looking through quarters. In my area at least, I declare dimes the winner!

I've had no luck with quarters.

I'm a student so I can only afford to take out a few rolls at a time, but so far I've only used one small branch and they've finally run out of dime rolls. Quarters are hopeless here as well.

1/3000 dimes (1965, funny enough in the third dime roll I ever took out)
0/600 quarters

One thing that slipped out one time is I said the years I was going for when I went to the bank, was that a mistake or does it matter? I'm sure someone at the bank can tell anyway.

I need to hit more branches and areas.

Actually a good question. They minted more dimes just about every year by a long shot so your odds of finding silver dimes compared to quarters is much greater. However, quarters have more weight(silver), so by the time it is all said and done you will need to find 2.5 times the amount of dimes to outweigh a quarter search.

Recap: Better chance to find silver dimes, but need to find almost 3 times as many to outweigh quarters.

Correct my math if I'm wrong.

Mercury maybe try asking for customer rolled coins. Most banks just recycle there coinage over and over and not much new stuff comes in and yes if you can try different banks and credit unions. I stay way from crimped rolls.
Morgan does make a good point on the dimes to quarter difference and those dates are getting harder to see on the dimes.
Did pick up the dimes 5 rolls down and 45 to go.

The reject tray at the coin counting machine did have three toonies, all of which looked and sounded right
