Had my first two Ag dime box! A '47 and a '52.
It's inspired me to go get four more boxes next week.

Just got my first order of 4 boxes. I'll let you guys know how I come out.
Right now I have 85 cents of silver. 6 dimes found in boxes and a quarter some guy gave me in change.

You are 85 cents ahead of most of the world.

A question to those of you who sort boxes of dimes - what kind of boxes do you get?

I've tried the Brinks boxes that were wrapped in clear plastic, but have never found any silver in those. I've also tried the String and Son boxes wrapped in paper and those I've actually had some luck with. Nowadays I don't even bother with the Brinks boxes since I figure the clear plastic wrap doesn't conceal silver very well from prying eyes.

Mine are usually loomis. About 1 silver per box average, paper wrapped.
