Decided to try out 2 boxes of dimes and 1 box o/ pennies instead of my normal 2 boxes o/ pennies. Spent 500$ on the dimes and 25$ on the pennies.. the finds are as follows:

-------------------------------

DIMES:
1 US Silver 1962 (90%)
1 US Silver 1959 (90%)
1 US Silver 1956 (90%)
1 US Silver 1954 (90%)

1 CAD silver 1962 (80%)

--------------------------------

PENNIES:
10 wheats
3 canadians
1 Bahama
1 euro
5 pounds o/ copper

Im going to stop searching cents and start searching dimes in larger volumes
ALSO!!! are these results norm for 2 boxes o/ dimes???

Depends on where yer at. I usually avg 1/box. Best was 4. Haven't done too many dimes tho. I do better w/halves.

You did well. 1 per box is about average. And Canadian silver is unusual to find. Mercs are tough as well. Good job.
 

Thats pretty good for dimes. I've found one silver, and that was in $80 in CWR dimes. I have better luck with halves.
