...of the Roosevelts I'm trying to find to finish the silver series...braved 20 mph traffic on the back roads to head into town, 1 inch of solid ice on the pavement.
Picked up $520 in halves hand rolled, $500 were someone's dumps....got 1 40% out of loose, haven't ordered any dimes for awhile so I was lucky enough to pick up 1 String -wrapped box. AMC

Very nice score. Damn those merks are nice looking coins. With everyone finding these dimes it is giving me the itch to go get a couple or maybe ten boxes. ;D

Happy Hunting

Oh how many do you need for the dime set?

That is impressive. About how long and how many boxes have you searched to get that close?

Thanks,
Jason

I started back around May, I would say after 3 mos./30 boxes I filled as many holes as I could, the ones that are left are lower-minted #'s. Also, I average 1/$100, some boxes skunks, others as many as 15 to a box. You really have to go thru alot of boxes but i did pull 6 Barbers and 15 Mercs this year, casually hunting.

Nice to see the Mercs. I did 300 in hand rolls today and pulled a 42 mercury and 3 roosevelts. Almost always stick to the hand rolls on dimes. I did fill an empty hole. I'm down to 16 empty holes and have been tempted to bid, not yet, still gonna try via CRH but I have a feeling I may start trading out the dupes!
