Dime question

[Joshr29]

I was curious if anyone has ever found anything older than a Merc while searching dimes?

I know someone found a barber a few months ago. It took them like over 2,000,000 dimes or something I think. Don't remember who.

 

[Joshr29]

Wow I would love that. My best score of old ones was 5 mercs in one clear wrapped box.

I have found a 1914 Canadian dime. Was a 925er. Almost like a Barber :P I cant seem to get my Garda banks to order me dimes anymore.

This guy found 15 Barbers and a gold quarter eagle along with a bunch of mercs and rosies: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coin-roll-hunting/343184-something-amazing-happened-today.html

Many Barbers have been found and posted on this forum. Even a few Seated Liberties.

I've found a half dozen Barbers, and a 1900 Canadian Victoria.

Here's a picture taken through the lens of a 10X lighted loupe of my oldest dime found from a roll.

Awesome dime. Was it CW or MW?

About 50 boxes a week give or take, with 25 being halves and 25 being dimes.

Machine.

I've found 1858 and 1877 CC seated dimes.

Very nice! CW or Machine?

Machine, I've never even heard of a CWR around here. Policy is to have everything dumped into the machine and the sheep follow.

On a side note, I've gone through several hundred boxes of dimes, I have not even counted. But I go through 5 a week at a minimum, and I've only found those.

I found an 1868 nickel composition trime a few weeks ago in a dime bag. Pretty banged up but cool.

I got two barbers in one box, but that's all. I do 2 boxes a week
