No longer go to

So dimes used to always produce for me- but lately I don't even want to search them- my halves come in on thurs and Fri so the rest of the week it's dimes and CWR- but dimes have gone well below 1 per box so I think it's time to take a brake from them for a while-

Yeah to be honest i'd rather search a box of pennies/cents than a box of dimes these days!

My dimes have produced the same for the last 5 years. To be honest, I'm just burnt out again, and it's truly cheaper to buy my silver outright at this time.

I used to wanna search dimes over any other denomination any day of the week, but lately im lucky to get 1 per box.

And i agree its not worth the effort. But if you have fun going through dimes or are just starting out then id say go for it.

Dimes aren;t worth the effort pennies and nickels can be more productive.

I don't like face searching so I don't do cents/nickels- I only face search halves so I don't miss the 40%- I'm only in it for the silver- gonna take a few weeks off from dimes

It's not fun doing dimes with as few and far between they have been- I can take the skunks on halves because finding one is worth it but man finding 1 dime in every couple boxes just ain't fun :-)

Exactly, if you find one 64, its like finding 6 dimes lol

5 dimes.

50 cents = 50 cents

Melt is the same for 90% coins, except there is a tad bit more silver in the 90% dollar coins, as opposed too (2) half dollars, or 4 quarters, or 10 dimes.

You're right, thanks!!

Unless youre going by weight
1 dime= 2.27g and 1half= 12.5 g so if by going by weight the 1 Half is better than the 5 dimes
Which is why the LCS in my area charge just a tad bit more for halves per dollar than dimes/qtrs

Wrong. The charge more because people want larger physical silver compared to smaller silver.

Not what they say- they say they charge more for the halves because of their weight- they actually sell more and are out of more often the dimes and qtrs because of this- at least the couple LCS I shop at

 

[hokiemojo]

half dollars typically have less wear (as a percentage of their weight). In new condition though, the same face value should have the same amount of silver, regardless of denomination.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Coin shops around me charge more for silver half dollars and even more for dollars because of the demand they can get more money.
