Hi all, Merc here. Went out hunting today with $600 in cwr dimes. I had 400 in one bag and 200 in another. ( I use tool bags to carry my coin. When I first started hunting tellers wanted to know what I was there to fix. Lol) Anyway I grabbed the one with 200 and walked into TD. I didn't think they would have that many but they did. Cool. Off I go to the next bank, another TD. Walked into that one with 400 and surprise, I traded them all. Now I'm out of dimes to trade but hit a couple more banks looking for halves. Ended up with one 40%. When I arrived home I started the search. My first step is always to weigh the rolls and set aside the ones that don't weigh the right amount, which usually means the count is off. ( when I trade rolls I know they all are the correct count) I tend to find more rolls over than under. When the rolls are over it means there are over 50 coins or there is silver in the roll. I got really excited when one of the first I checked weighed 124 grams and it didn't appear to be overfilled. I unfolded one end and spotted silver. Dumped it into my hand on edge and it's all beautiful white edges. I've been waiting for this day and it finally came. On my way into work I stopped again at the first TD and asked the same teller if she had more. And she did. 200 more. I'll check them after work. 14 of the dimes were mercs! Biggest one day merc haul and most dimes ever in one day. In one week for that matter. I'll update later if I find more. Enjoy the pics.

Congrats on finding your first solid roll. Even better that almost a third of them were Merc's. It's been quite a while since I've had a solid roll score. I've never had a solid dime roll score before but I was just thinking it will be three years ago tomorrow (on 9-3-11) that I had my best score ever - 3 solid rolls of Walkers and Bens. Although its been quite a while, I can still remember the thrill of scoring a solid roll. Good luck on the rest of the rolls too.

H$H!

Awesome! Solid dime rolls just look beautiful, man. I don't know why, but they are just more appealing to my eye than a solid roll of halves.

The closest thing I have ever found to a "SWEET" roll like that was at a donut shop getting a dozen sweet rolls. What is the brand, make, model, of that scale? I've been wanting to get one for a while.

Haven't had a chance to get back till now but finished with my hunt for the week and unfortunately, didn't get anymore solid rolls. But even without the solid roll, it was a good week. 65 silver coins. Think that's my best week ever.

Thanks silverface. I'd love to find a solid 90% roll of halves as my next solid roll. I'll keep at it and hopefully, it will come.
