Had my flex day off today so I dumped some halves which have been lukewarm in these parts lately. A bag of dimes was available so I bought it for $1000 and went through it on a wet, raw afternoon. Had the fire stoked. Good move! Most of the bags in the past have produced 5 to 10 silver but I must have caught an old collection - 70 silver rosies and 44 mercs!!! Almost every handful had silver and one had 6. I thought I was hearing things when I dropped the bag in my truck - yep it was that sweet silver ding.
Gman- I'll post the dates for the tracking list tomorrow - dates range from 1918 - 1964.

Thanks everyone!
MM- Good idea!
Never had any luck with quarters - but it would be worth a shot - damn if I didn't pass on them, to late...
