Sleepy's Most Wanted (Roosevelt Dimes)

After having searched through $7,110 worth of dimes, I figured I'd get a Whitman Coin book (1946-1964 Dimes). I'm going to make it my goal to fill it by the end of the year! To the right is my "Most Wanted" List to help keep track of my progress. I want all of my finds to be from CRHing, so I won't be purchasing any of them. Here goes nothing!

Someone musta dumped a bunch of common mercs into the system because that's all I've been finding lately.

i Agree! Not sure on your location. i am in the north east and i have pulled 22 mercury dimes out of boxes in the past 2 weeks. I searched i think 8 boxes. All common dates, some are very worn others are very nice condition. My 2 best dime boxes have come these past to weeks as well! I am also finding a lot of 1946,1947,and 1952D fdrs mixed in with the mercs. . The 52D are in AU condition. Hopefully the mercury madness continues! HH

 

[Sleepy Holow]

I heard that! Hey, even if they're common, they're still MERCS!

Whoa! Coin-grats and welcome back!

[BuffaloBoy]

That is awesome, there's nothing like opening a dime roll with multiple silvers (or any denomination with multiple keepers)... and congratulations on finishing off college!

 

[MIhunter]

Congrats on finishing college, but frankly that isnt too hard
but finding 2 dimes boxes each with over 24 silver dimes is!!
Wow that is a lot of silver dimes!!
HH!!


(my best box is 21, my best CWR is $100 with 50 silver dimes)
