Try your local scrap metal guy, some are buying and melting, just like Silver coins ,which are also illegal to melt.

Keep the BEST chuck the rest into that 5 gallon bucket in the basement or shed and wait for melt time.
Could also be used with the silver when we do have an economic melt down on Dec 21/2012 or something like that.

One with the most coinage again will have the power over the plastic.

Finished my fourth box of dimes, this one brought in to my local branch from a border town in New Brunswick. Once again, 2 silver dimes ('61 and '68), but the neat thing was more than double the usual number of US dimes (64/2500). That makes 9 silver dimes through 10,000 coins (200 rolls).

I consider myself pretty lucky with the dimes for sure. I'll hang onto my finds for now, even though most of them are pretty worn (F to VF).

I usually wait until I have 5 or more, then list them on ebay. Take the money from the sale and buy a coin(s) that I actually want.  |

It's a great thrill to find silver in a roll, but once I've found it, I mostly end up putting them aside since they aren't much to look at. Turning 10 dimes into a $20 coin would be a pretty satisfying way to flip them. |

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.
