I'm usually getting 2-4 per box, though I did search of all these with no silver luck yesterday. However, each of the paper rolls had 1-2 extra dimes in them, so that's pretty decent. Based on my blog, I've searched $1000 in dimes so far (since I kept counting...) and have found 9 silvers.  Edited by GoldenEagle

Having searched well over $150,000 in dimes, I can say that boxes are the best. My rate with boxes is about 1 silver per $150 searched. Customer-wrapped finds are about 1 per $200-$250. One merc per $900. One silver Canadian per $1,000. One Barber dime per $25,000. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I normally find about 1 silver Roosevelt in $100. I normally find the most good stuff in nickels and pennies. However, for silver, I would go with dimes just like other people are saying. Out of all my hunting, I have only found 2 silver quarters.

In the last 2 months, I've been through 2 boxes of dimes and found 1 silver and 1 in a TD coin sorter. I've done 12 boxes of quarters and come up with 9 silver including one that was given to me by a teller since it was all black and was in their mutilated jar. This is all Canadian. I've also come across about 8% in US quarters and other foreign coin.

I have found at least 1 silver dime a month for the last 6 or 7 months and I don't go through my change, I just notice it when throwing the change in a jar and pull it back out

I find about one dime per box and 2 nickels per box. Silvers anyway. I have never found a quarter and have quit searching rolls unless I happen to use one.

I have only found one silver quarter since I started. I don't search them often as I had gone through a box with not as much luck as I get with nickels and pennies.

I pulled a 62 Roosevelt dime from a box of pennies two days ago.... I don't search dimes but I am pleased to say that for the price of 1 cent I got a nice silver dime lol |

Here in my part of Indiana, I'm averaging about 1 Silver Dime per 30-40 rolls. Recently I've been averaging closer to 3 per 30-40 rolls, but I think that this is just a good run of luck!

Just a little over one for me. (1.2)
I seem to be on the low end of the curve. I think most are getting 1.5-2
