All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

I started a coin collection of US and Canadian dimes, so I keep one example of every non silver dime.
I keep US clad proofs when I find them, but they are not worth more than a dime unless in pristine condition. I don't find a lot of proofs. The 1970 Canadian is worth keeping because it is low mintage. Other than that, it is just silver! I don't bother with 2009 US dimes even though they are low mintage, if they are ever going to be worth anything it will take decades!!
