CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff
CanadianNumismatist Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 03:35 am If you get lucky and get customer wrapped rolls, it's about 1 in 15, but if you are really unlucky and get machine wrapped rolls the chances drop to 1 in almost infinite. The only way there is a silver dime in machine wrapped rolls is if the machine accidentally let a silver dime through. If the rolls you get are new mint state rolls, then you will never find a silver dime. It all depends on what types of rolls you get. Report this Post to the Staff
Sauce New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 11:03 pm @CanadianNumismatist I find on average 2 silver dimes per box of machine wrapped rolls. This machine must not reject silver. I think it may be specific to certain areas. Take Care, Sauce Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 11:25 pm I don't think you can really put odds on it. I do think your chances will be higher with CWR and not impossible with MWR.
