Poll Question
I have a question for you all, when hunting for silver coins which method is better? Searching customer wrapped rolls or boxes? I have gone though tons of boxes,with dimes I get 3 a box... I never find silver quarters. So I am wondering if searching rolls would be better. Let me know how you all survive.

I would say that its a gamble. Boxes will generally give you X silvers per 10,000 coins and it usually not waver.

However, customer wrapped rolls you could go through 10,000 coins and find nothing... and then score 2 rolls solid of silvers.

I prefer the consistent, low reward... quite opposite my Roth IRA portfolio. lol

but if I do see some old, worn out, faded paper rolls, I will snatch them up in a heart beat.

I will say boxes right now because you can always get a box while, around here at least, CWR are almost non existent after I swept the town. Not saying you can't get lucky though : D

I said customer wrapped because I have yet to get a box. It is also important to note that I have not roll searched in over ten years.

I've done a lot of roll searching the last 3 years. Customer vs boxes average the same for me (dimes 1 per $150). I have better luck with customer rolled halves (solid silver rolls). Dime searching, boxes produce quality (6 Barbers, tons of mercs). Customer rolls produce lots of old Canadian dimes here (1900 Vicky) course, I'm not too far away from Canada. ffd
