Silver dimes are worth $2.50 each. If you could find 5 silver dimes in 2 rolls, you're doing really well... I'd quit my job and search full-time if that was the case. I find about 1 silver dime per $125 searched.

No BU's, 4 Canadians.

 

Merc 1 40% in 3 of the remaining 4 boxes. One more to go. I wouldn't roadtripjust yet.

 

Box of halves... one 2007p and one 1987s clad.

 

If I ever win the lottery, I'm gonna travel the US for a spring/summer and just go to every single bank I see, hah.

 

Sounds like fun!!

Just sold all those 97P for 20$ profit. Kept me from having to dump them. I don't have the time to sell roll by roll.

 

Not a bad idea.....you made a profit and can move on.

I stopped by a bank and they had $3 of halves. 4 of them were proofs. 2000S, 2001S, 2005S and 2007S

 

Where would you sell them? I'm collecting all this stuff but have no idea what I'm going to do with it once I have it.

 

Dropped by the same bank yesterday that had the jackpot two weeks ago. (I was out of town last week, so didn't make it by.)

One CWR (probably actually BWR, but folded, not crimped), and eight loose. I thought they originally said $19 worth, so I wondered if they'd quickly set ten aside. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Loose: all 40%

Roll: 17 40%, 2 clad, 1 1964

Last time I was there I asked if anybody else was coming by looking for halves, and they said I was the only one. (My former favorite bank said they'd had four people come by already yesterday afternoon looking for them.) I'm guessing my new favorite bank will be discovered sooner or later. Wonder if they know who's been dropping all this silver, and if they'd be willing to pass him or her my number?

 

I can't seem how any of you can find any silver. I've been oin nickels, dimes, and halves for awhile and have found 2 war nickels and a 1963 dime.

 

Sold mine to a coin shop. I could have put it online, but why hassle?

 

Bob, that's it!! Lol I'm gonna have to hit your side of town

 

Volume, dude, volume.

 

Not for me -- any time I find more than three rolls in one place, they're pre-searched.

Timing, dude, timing. You just have to be the first one there after the little old lady makes the deposit. Or the first one to ask at the grocery store after someone brings over the handful of halves that got rejected by the CoinStar.

Or, to put it more succinctly, "luck". And patience.

 

Or just go to the bank and instead of buying CWR's, buy BWR's... you know where BWR's come from? Counting machines, stuff tellers dump into bags and send out, etc. I've always had better luck with BWR's than CWR's save for a few oddities nobody is going to look for, IE my 1999 WAM which was in a CWR.

Go to business banks, dude... banks that handle a lot of change outgoing... banks in heavy retail areas. They'll have lots of rolls on hand.

 

whats a CWR and a BWR?

 

Custmoer wrapped roll and Bank Wrapped Roll
