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!

***CORRECTION***

I think I must be getting sloppy here lately...or it could have been stuck in the machine, but I don't think so. Went to the coin counter today. There was an unusually large amount of debris inside, although I didn't see any coins. Got several dimes rejected, including a 1953 Canadian (too slick to ID a variant). I'm adding it to last week's stats.

Had an ender on Saturday that I was able to show family. Today I had 4 enders (3 FDRs, 1 Fin coin), all from two boxes. Was really hoping the '54 ender was going to be an 'S'. Thought it'd be a cool way to cut it to just 2 FDRs left to find, but we'll have to wait a bit longer.

Nice finds, but be wary of older Brit pound coins. There are over 30 million counterfeits.

I'll have to try that and let you know, Dozer.

Sleepy: try soaking that '37-D Rev in Dawn Liquid soap & hot water in a small Rx bottle for a few days. Let us know if it comes off, I'd be interested to know, never had a dirty one like that.

Dozer, thanks for the tip. Here's the results:

Sleepy: glad to see the results, and yet not polished. Works real good on old wheat cents also, without any rubbing or scrubbing. Thanks for seeing the pic.

Wow...what date range are you talking?

Pretty much the entire run, before the bimetallic version was introduced. There are plenty of sites that describe how to spot the fakes.

Sleepy: since you have shown so much volume in dime boxes, what would you say is your percentage of SKUNK boxes vs total boxes? I just was wondering if it's as high as the guys that hunt halves.

9 FDRs and a Canadian oldie...not a bad day. The KGVI came in the same roll as the '54, so two days in a row of finding a multi-silver roll. This is my 2nd ever KGVI Canadian 10 Cents coin. Also, caught a 1993S clad proof at the coin counter before I dumped it.
