Best Denomination To Find A Collection Dump?

I found 100 silver quarters in one box, and I also found close to 400 silver quarters in another estate dump.

I found over 100 40% halves in 2 boxes about 2 months ago, it was definitely someone's estate or dump haven't had near the success after that the last 2 months,.....sold all of them and made about $200 profit.

I would say pennies. I found over 900+ wheats in 3 boxes. It was fun going through those with my son. He was really excited.

Are we talking about coins that are unambiguously valuable? I'd argue that *the* most common collection dumps are State Quarters, followed by Prez $. I've personally dumped both denominations a couple years ago when I needed the money.

Beyond that, I would say I have had the best luck with nickels. I once found 4 solid rolls of dumped 1940s and 50s nickels, obviously in lower grades and with the silver and key dates picked up (although the former owner did not care greatly for S mints). Have also lucked into a solid roll of dateless and partial date Buffalo nickels.
