Those weeks where you miss your boxes feel so weird! I was out of town last week so I didn't get to do any boxes. Ready to get back at it this week!

In the summer slump, several skunk boxes and now a skunk bag of quarters.

Picked up bank bag of dimes and can see one silver through the plastic so not a skunk, will work it later today.

Yesterday was my son's high school graduation, didn't have much time to dump or pick up too many coins with all of the running around I was doing.

But as I was picking up ice and beer for the after party/refreshments from my local beer distributor, the guy behind the counter mentioned to his employee that he had a box of dimes that had been sitting in his safe for months and he wanted the employee to take them back to the bank.

I mentioned that I would buy them right now on the spot, and he was happy to sell them to me.

It ended up being a pretty good box of dimes, giving up eight silvers; four mercs and four Roosies:

1942 x 2
1943
1944D
1947
1962D
1963D
1964

Nice work on the ‘70-D. Haven’t seen too many of those found lately. Also liked the 4 Mercury box. Congrats.

 

[Dozer D]

Mastermind: now that being at the right place at the right time. Would have taken you 10-boxes or more just to find the 4-mercs. Nice job & congrats.
