Hey CRHers!
Hope you all are having a good year. Haven't posted in a bit because haven't really had much luck finding items in rolls to post. Finally ended a skid of bad dime boxes (3 in total) with 1 silver in a 4th box that I'm half way through. So you may say "Ok. big deal why are you posting about it?" Well, the funny thing is that when I saw the silver ridge in the roll I was expecting a Rosie or maybe a Merc but instead I saw the following (sorry for the not so great pics):


A 1913 Colombian 10 cent piece (.900 silver)

Its silver in a dime box so I'm happy to have it any way :)

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
