Do you find more silver in dimes of halfs

I only did pennies up to yesterday which I bought 80 dollars worth of dimes and found 2 1964s so my question is do dimes or half dollars have more silver

Half dollars have more silver.

 

Pre-64 half dollars: .36169 oz pure silver

Pre-64 dimes: .07234 oz pure silver

'65-70 Kennedy half dollars: .1479 oz pure silver

 

Not by the motel content like the quantity

In my experience, I find more silver halves per number of coins searched than dimes. It may be different for others.

 

So, what you're asking is something like "where am I more likely to find silver, in dimes or in halves?"

A couple of years ago, I would've said "halves" for sure. If you're looking for them in teller drawers or cash registers, it's probably still halves. From what I've heard, boxes and rolls of halves are mostly picked over at this point.

Quarters seem to be the most picked over.

 

Thank you guys for your help I'm going to try halfs later on in the day
