<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26450755, member: 4626&quot;]I found 8 in 4 boxes (so out of 10,000 dimes) which is a success rate of 0.08% which some people say is pretty lucky lol.&nbsp; But every silver dime, worth about $2.50, you can find for $0.10, is a pretty good profit margin.&nbsp; But yeah would take a really long time to find every regular silver issue that way.&nbsp; So far I have 13 out of the 48 silver issues (not all were found roll-hunting; some were given to me, or I found in circulation years before I got a Roosevelt dime album).&nbsp;&nbsp; If I can still average 2 silver dimes a box (assuming no duplicates) in theory I could still finish the set faster than the nickel set, in terms of number of boxes.&nbsp; The only downside to this is dime boxes cost $250 each so cash flow makes it more difficult to go through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note: the rarest regular issue Roosevelt dime was 1955, that still had a mintage of 12 million (technically the rarest business strike is 1996-W, but as it was not intended for circulation I wouldn&#039;t count it as a &quot;regular issue&quot;.)&nbsp; It&#039;s a stretch to say any Roosevelt dime is a &quot;key.&quot;&nbsp; So it&#039;s not like silver Roosevelt dimes are rare... they&#039;re just very rare in circulation or bank boxes.&nbsp; But that does make finding them feel very special![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
