Rarely for me. I did like $50 when I first started CRH and got 1 silver dime. To me, its really not worth it. When I CRH I just turn back in my rejects for Amazon credit at Coinstar. I wouldn't want to have too much money tied up with the high volume of dimes you have to search to get silver. That's why I typically stick with pennies when I CRH.

I'd have to say Roosevelt dimes are one of my favorites to collect though. They are probably one of the more boring series for most but I like them. BU rolls of Roosevelt dimes are pretty affordable so I am hoping they will increase in value over time. Melt today on dimes is about $60 for a roll. I've picked up several BU rolls of early 60's silver ones for $65-70 shipped within the past few months. I've even got some decent 55-P, 53-S, 54-S for like $85-90. 2009 rolls which have a fairly low mintage to today's standards occasionally go for $10 a BU roll too.

Long story short.. I don't do much CRH with dimes but I feel like they are a big underdog series. I really like getting BU rolls of pre-64's! Good luck!

Sometimes. Whenever I'm out at my dumping bank, I pick up $125 in dimes to go through, and then pay that at my pickup bank for a box of nickels and a box of pennies. So far this year I've scored something like 6 silver dimes or so from 1948-1964 there. I think lifetime totals would have to be roughly 10 silver dimes at that bank and counting.

I've only scored from CWR. I did a MWR box once in late 2013 and completely skunked it. It was Brinks and they were see-through wrappers, therefore literally you could finish a box up in about a minute or two.

Silver does not have to be the only goal. Building a nice set, at least a clad one, is not impossible.

I can normally find about four silver dimes per box.

When I hunt for silver, I hunt dimes.

Excellent.

It is always good to have something to show for all the effort.

Had a box of dimes last night and found two silver dimes and a Mercury dime.
