I got two customer wrapped rolls. They had a 1947 Silver Roosevelt dime in VG condition. |

Well after over six years I've cancelled both my remaining accounts, even with a success rate of one silver per $150. I'm weary.
However, if silver jumps back up to $40-$50, I just might jump back in!
My wife is a teller and her finds have been slim to none the last couple years.
I will continue to read about the finds, and good luck to all!

grabbed a box last Satuday since I was near a bank. To my delight, 12 silvers popped out, including 3 Mercs! I knew I was in the middle of a silver vein. The # stamped on this box has been good in the past, but I seemed to be right in the middle of the vein. I went back to the bank the next day, bought 4 more boxes with the same # stamped on it, and ripped them open. 3 of them only produced 1. But, the 4th, produced 8 more rosies. So, dime haul for the weekend was 24, with I believe 9 of them being hole fillers for my hunted collection. A great weekend for sure! Seeing 2 silvers in a roll was fun, and actually hoping and expecting to see them while opening each roll was exciting. I definitely do this for the thrill of the hunt! Plus, it was nice to capitalize on the saturday score with the sunday followup :-)

I have searched 4 boxes of dimes. The first box contained clear rolls and found the one. One box was paper wrapped from a sealed box and found none. Which have produced the most luck? Does it matter if the box is sealed and contains either paper wrapped or clear plastic wraps? I want to get more involved finding silver dimes just want to know what will produce me the most. Any input will help. Thanks in advance.

i have never gotten plastic rolls. I think volume is the key. If one source does not produce well, try a different source. I have not really searched customer wrapped, only boxes.

I've not been doing this long. But I agree that volume is key. Out of about $2200 I have averaged 1 sivere every $190. If you break them down to the rolls. Cwr Its 1 silver every $170. And on Mwr (boxes of string and sons). its one silver every $220.

So I got a box of nothing but 2014 d today. I'm new to dimes. Is this rare. Doesn't matter now since I traded them in already. But incase it happens again should I keep a few rolls?

Went through a box today. They shorted me out of a $5 roll. Going to have to start checking the boxes before I leave. Found these 2 in the same roll, along with a 1983 penny stuck in the roll. Along with a 1968-S proof in a later roll. 1951 Roosevelt & 1941 Mercury. First Mercury I've found in a roll. Merc's about a EF-40 or so. Pretty nice to be from circulation.   |
