Yes, I go through about $700-$1500 in coins a week, mostly nickels, dimes and halves. I get about 2 keeper nickels per box ($100), either Buffalo nickels, silver War Nickels or the occasional variety or error. I get about 1.5 silver dimes per box ($250), and about 1/6th of those are Mercury dimes. I haven't gotten much good out of boxes of half dollars, but I've gotten several silver from loose halves and small numbers of customer wrapped rolls. When I get pennies I average about 17 wheat cents per box.
I always take the non-keepers back to a different bank. That's the cardinal rule of roll hunting. Like I have one bank where I pick up my dimes and nickels twice a week, and a different bank where I dump them, and then a different bank where I order boxes of halves, and then dump those at the bank where I get the nickels and dimes.
