A Mercury Dime in the Teens and MY FIRST GOLD From CRH...

[OtlFrutiger]

I bought a bag of dimes to go through today. The manager was nice enough to pull it off of the machine early for me today before it was full ($857). In going through it I found three silver dimes. Two were Roosies (1960 + 1964), and the other was a Merc with the date so worn that it is difficult to tell the year. You can see that it is a date in the teens 191? Maybe it's a 1916 D? Who knows?

The big find though was a portion of either a gold bracelet or necklace. It is stamped "10K Italy" and weighs in at 5g. According to the calculator I checked, that puts it at a scrap value of about $85!!! Not too shabby!!!

Yep. It was just floating around in the bag. Just lucky I guess. I found a small silver ring once in a bag from the same source, but this is much better! :-)

As crazy and backward as it sounds, I usually sell my scrap gold and buy silver with it! I think I may just like silver too much!!! :-)
