On average if lucky I find 1 silver per box sometimes none....I rarely get skunked 2 boxes in a row though......my focus is on halves since I finally got a bank that'll order 4 boxes for me on a weekly basis.

this year, I have done 78 boxes for 78 silvers, so a pretty steady average of 1 per box.

My regular bank has decided not to repair or replace their coin counter so I was off to my other bank that wraps their own coin from their counters. Went through a $250 box this afternoon and found 4 Roosevelt's (three 1964's and one 1961) along with a 1968 Canadian dime. Was very pleased with the results.

Meh...in my opinion, dime searching is kind of a waste of time. I usually trade some of the silver halves I find for dimes. Much better use of time...

Still trying to find another source to buy bags directly off the coin counter but tried a box of bank wrapped dimes. A total blank.

davef, have you tried buying surplus customer-rolled from banks that don't have coin counters? Reason I mention this is because in my area of northeast US, few banks have counters. I was buying $3k per month of cwr dimes that I picked up in $1k bags. VERY simple to quickly re-roll, or dump loose...If I wanted, I could have easily upped my volume to $5k per month between 5 banks. In three years straight up until last year, I averaged one silver per $150.

Just found a bank that has about 15 fairly close branches. They wrap their own coin taken from their coin counter machines and they take them off when they are half full ($500 dimes) so the female tellers can handle the bags better. They said they will sell me any bags I want if they have them when I come in.

Hopefully that will work out. I will like the $500 bags better than the previous $1000 bags I had been getting. It will be easier to dump them for me.

I usually don't do dimes.

I have only done 3 dime boxes when I was trying to fill holes in my album.

The 2 silver dimes I have found when I went and looked at the date of each coin I would have missed if I was rim searching (I know because I looked at the rims while opening each roll)

I decided to pick up $100 in dimes when picking up my halves and nickels. Since Chase doesn't take loose coin anymore and all of the holes in my album are filled I unrolled the end crimp and pushed the coins out with a pen. I did one roll at a time so that I would not have to count them out when I rerolled them. Well halfway through one roll that didn't want to push out and I really had to force the pen to get them out and then they went flying all over the desk when I heard the sound of silver. I went and looked at each coin and sure enough there was a 1964. Checking the rim I would have missed this one too if only rim searching. Luckily I heard the silver ring. I also found a Swiss 5 gold colored something.

$50 all 2015-D. I did find two dimes in some penny rolls, though, so it wasn't a total loss. Paid for the gas to get to the end of my driveway.

Now that is funny -
Searching for silver dimes. Some ask, "is it worth it?" Is a game of golf worth it? How 'bout two hours in front of the bube tube watching the game? Worth it?

Man I miss those dimes.

When I re-started doing some CRHing about 6 months ago I got a roll of dimes on the first day and got a '54. Haven't seen one since. But I did get a '46 in change at the Circle K a couple of weeks ago.
