Road Trip 10/06/09

[Rich Hartford]

Just took an early morning road trip looking for halves. In passing I stopped at a bank whose dime boxes are good for some unknown reason. If I'm lucky they will let me buy one, which I did today.
Didn't pick up any dumps.
Here is what I got
Dimes
1948 Rosie
1949 "
1952 "
1953 "
1957 "
1962 "

D2,
It's just this one bank for some strange reason I get an higher than average number of keepers out of a dime box. I've also gotten my oldest Canadian dime 1940, my oldest U.S. dime 1899,the most Mercury dimes 8, and the most dimes in a box 11, from this bank.
