I average about 3 dimes per box
my most was 5 silver dimes
my least was 0 silver dimes
I only got skunked in boxes that were brand new dimes, every time they are mixed dates I find stuff
They have become my favorite thing to search.
Also look for the 1982 no P dime. I am still on the hunt for this one

Best: 7 silver in a box.
Worst: 0 silver in a box.
23 boxes completed so far and I have 34 silver. that is 1.47 silver per box.

seems to be getting fewer and fewer for me. I recently had a skunk streak of 14 straight boxes and they were not new coins. I probably avg 1 per every box or two.

I get 1-2 per box. About 1/7th of those are Mercury dimes. I just finished a box with 4 silver FDR, but I get skunked regularly too. |

I've found 111 silver dimes this year, having searched $12,500 in hand-rolls. That's one per $112 searched. Box scores for me average a little less. In that amount, I've found 8 mercs and 12 silver canadians.
I agree with the poster that said it's easier to buy silver outright. I'm surely not in this for financial gain, it's just that I truly love the hobby.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

 Probably cheaper and easier to buy silver, however I love the hobby as well. It gives me something to do and I like the fact that I found them in circulation. |

We might find 1 in a box. I have been finding more Canadian ones lately however.

For the time invested, it's easier to "strike it rich" with a second job than it is to "strike it rich" with pocket change or roll hunting.  But a second job isn't as fun. |

Or even a first job, for that matter... |

That's the only reason I roll search. |

Must be the area. I consistently find 1-4 silvers in ever $250 bag; always Roosevelt. I'm gonna regret saying this, but I've never had a silver skunk on a $250 bag of dimes. However my luck stinks on halves. I did get 3 Franklins from a teller recently, but aside from that 8 boxes and not even a 40%er. The last four not even a NIFC. Just the luck of the draw.
