What were my odds at this?

[Dozer D]

I'm new to this site, and enjoy reading about everyone's findings.
Been doing the CRH hobby for about one year now, mostly pennies. Venturing into nickels, dimes, and halves.

Last week found a box of pennies with 122-wheaties , 30% copper.

Just this Valentines Day went to my bank for one box each of cents, nickels, dimes.
Results: 22-wheats, 29% copper,
3-silver wartime nickels plus 1-buffalo(no date)
2-Rosie's; NOW, BELIEVE IT OR NOT••••••6 Mercury Dimes
What were my odds at getting 6, while most postings I read of are only one.
I think I better get some lottery tickets.

Sometimes you just get the bottom of the barrel. I got 7 Walking Liberty halves in a box once. It happens. Just be glad it happened to you

I've found a few Merc's over time, but don't expect to find another one...maybe not again in my life.

Finding several at one time? Wow!!!!!

If you do any amount of volume, you will find them. Barring my once in a life time Merc score last week, I have found

2 Mercs in December of 2011
1 Merc in Jan
1 Merc in Feb

EDIT: All my mercs above have been in bank wrapped CW deposited dimes in their coin machine.

That is excellent numbers that you usually dont see in the boxes only in CWR's.

Awesome find in Mercs.

I have found 11 mercury dimes over the last 15 months, during that time I have found about 200 silver FDRs.
So 6 merc in one box is AMAZING!!

Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's not. I did pennies for 2-3 years and decided to try halves. I bought $100 worth of cwr's. well when a roll of ladies and a roll of bens and a roll of 64 kennedy and a roll of 40% are staring u in the face , you're hooked !!found 2 bens since , but no walkers. last week found 15 -40% and 1 -90% kennedy. getting 2 boxes tomorrow and a box of dimes.
