¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! - 104-year-old Mexican silver

[Styfflin]

Got inspired on my ride home from work and grabbed as many boxes as I could pick up. I was able to snag 4 boxes of dimes, 1 bag of dimes, and 2 boxes of halves. Halves were a skunk, but I found 7 silver FDRs, 1 merc, and this 80% silver 1909 Mexican 10 Centavos. She's rough, but she's also 104 years old.

Hey, the centavos is a cool find! How was the dime bag for keepers? HH, Maverick.

Two Rosies and a merc. It was a $1,000 bag, not the normal $500 bag. Still no semblance of a collection dump found in a bag, but I'm sure that will happen eventually.
I forgot to mention that I also picked up a quarter bag. It was a skunk with two Canadian quarters in it just to get my hopes up.

I do bags of dimes from my CU occasionally and they are $1k bags.
It takes so long to search and the bags have so much grit and grime, I don't enjoy that hunt. There are almost always 5 Ag keepers per bag and I've only gotten 2 bags with more than 6. I average one Merc every 3rd bag or so.

I've searched 8-10 $1k bags of quarters and have never found any keepers so I stopped. If I were to do it again, I would hunt some of the state errors.
