What would you guys say is the best brand of box to search fof silver dimes? Brinks...loomis.etc?

since they most likely depot at the same location I wouldn't see a difference.

bags from coin machines are the best

I second that. Only get boxes if that is what they have. Customer returns via machine are usually best. One caveat: lots of same size junk shows up too.

But not TD Bank bags...silver rejects on the counter and won't go in the bag.

Not all of them. Most of the TDs around me will gobble up every single silver it sees. TD doesn't sell the bags anyway though.

I have seen silver halves in the bag on more than one occasion at TD Penny Arcades. Once, they let me swap them out for clad halves . I have also seen a few silver quarters and dimes in the reject bin. So I don't know if it just rejects silver dimes and quarters. And keeps silver halves? Just writing my experiences out for you guys. I am not about to put a silver dime into the machine to test this out. Another thing that I can tell you is good luck getting them to sell you bags off of the penny arcade. I have tried countless times and I always get a 100% firm NO.

I think it has something to do with how the machines are calibrated/adjusted. I have noticed this when even dumping BU Zn pennies. Some days it rejects everything, other days no problem.

The Scan Coin machines TCF uses will reject a war nickel. I didn't even know I had it until I dug it out of the reject slot. Same thing with pre-war wheat's. The ones that are true bronze. Again, I didn't know they were in there...

I had a teller tell me a customer had the machine reject some halves that were Ag. Of course I was a day lat and she already sold them to another customer. She claimed she knew they were Ag. I dunno.

I wouldn't want to test the machine with a dime either. With my luck not only would the machine accept it, it would get counted as a penny...

yup, I can see that happening.

In Halfs, I find the string boxes are the best. The cube ones? From brinks are for sh**
I'm curious to know about the dimes though. I have been sticking to customer returned rolls. Problem is that sometimes they are light. Sometimes a penny ends up in the roll? - overall... Decent.
