Joined this site last night and dont you know it this morning I went and picked up $200 in CW dimes at a local bank.

Got in my car and I see a mercury at the end. Unwrap other side and its a silver Roosie. Unwrap (in the parking lot) to find 80% silver mixed Mercury/Roosie. Open a few more rolls and inside are mixed 2-6 silver dimes each roll. 2nd to last roll was 100% silver!!

Final total:

51 silver roosevelts
57 mercury dimes

I went back in and purchased every CW quarter/nickel/penny the teller had.....will post any additional results!

I took pictures but I couldn't upload them, said the photo's were too large....

Maybe this website is my good luck charm!

Welcome aboard! Incredible start your off to. Those early dates are nice. Most Mercs I find are 40's.

Best to you

Im so jealous!!!

I gotta start asking for customer wrapped rolls more often... I tend to only do boxes...

Since the beginning of this year ive done 7000$ in dimes, and ive only found 6 rosies. I was averaging 1.3 per bx out of 55 boxes the end of last year...

merc ender... so lovely!!

I agree with the mod above, that the merc is one of the best US coins ever minted
