Found 2 silver dimes!

Well now this is becoming a bit of a hobby. I looked through my sisters and brothers coins and found 2 silver dimes! They let me keep them. I think silver dimes are the most available coin in circulation. I went to two banks and they had no silver halves. Pennies have the most success rate because they are many in circulation. I'm going to start sorting those for fun.
I like collecting Gold and Silver. I prefer the Silver stuff. God Bless You.

Silver dimes are definitely the easiest way to make money on a budget, because you can quickly edge-check an entire box containing plastic rolls. With copper pennies, you have to check every date, or buy a Ryedale Sorter for a few hundred dollars. And even then, the interest in copper is much lower than silver, so you would have a more difficult time getting rid of the copper you find, unless you plan to just hold onto it all.

I have had a lot of success when I ask my friends if I can look thru their spare change. I have found silver nicks, dimes, quarters, buffalo nicks, wheat pennies, and even some foreign coins.

If you always search for everything, chances are you will find something!
