Dime Roll Hunting Problem

30 bucks is a start but wont buy you many rolls. If you live in a town with several banks you may be able to hunt those and quickly turn them in at another bank to increase the amount you hunt through. If I had $30 to hunt with I would start with a $25 box of cents or maybe nickels. Good luck either way.

Dimes are best before halves, then ford then chevy.

Speaking from 40 years of roll hunting experience.

Try em all!

It really depends on what you're looking for, Silver or copper or numismatic finds.

I would opt for dimes or halves, but you'll have to search a ton before finding much. Just keep that in mind. 1 dime for every $250 and less for half dollars.

Really it comes down to what you are looking for

In my experience dimes and quarters are the worst for finding silver.

Dimes and quarters circulate daily and go through many more hands who have the potential to spot and remove any silver.

In the 4 quarter boxes I have done 1 found one silver. In the 4 or more boxes of dimes I have done I have found 2.

Halves pay out 10 fold for me compared to dimes and quarters.

Nickels are usually good for 1 silver per 1.5 boxes on average.

Filling a all three Whitman Jefferson nickel books is not that hard, in less than a year I've gotten them all past 1950, missing both 1950's and 2 silvers, also missing 1938, 1939 with mint marks, 8 empty holes total.




I'll agree on quarters, never found a single silver from them but I have gotten some nice finds from dimes. 23 silvers including a 1917-S Mercury, and a 50% Canadian. Only 16 nickels so far but that is not bad considering they were only silver for four years.

Only 4 halves, I'll admit I have not done a ton of halves but I'm also in a black-hole for them, my bank just re-rolls what they have on hand so getting silver's from them is a really big find. If I could order a few thousand at a time they would order them special from the fed but I'm not rich enough for that.
