825 silver dimes today

[Styfflin]

I decided to take off the whole week around Thanksgiving. Between the four months of overtime and my two babies, I really needed some time to unwind. And, more importantly, coin roll hunt. Yesterday I hit almost every bank in my closest city - buying, searching, and dumping everything I could with modest results. I brought home a few coin counter bags to search later. I didn't get around to them until this morning. I woke up before the kids, grabbed a bag of dimes, and peeked inside...



I grabbed a tiny handful and there were three silvers. I took a closer look inside the bag and could see white edges everywhere. I quietly woke up my wife and told her to join me at the kitchen table for an awesome collection dump experience.

My great luck while hunting relatively low volume somehow got better. We pulled 825 total silvers - 803 Rosies and 22 Mercs.



Before even putting a dent in that bag, I paused the hunt and drove back to that bank to buy everything else. Two quarter bags had nothing, one nickel bag had a war nick, and one bag of cents I haven't touched yet. I think I have to go back one more time tomorrow to buy everything again in case part of the collection dump was still on the coin counter today.

Like the first guy said, I hate you too. Of course not, excellent work! I've never come close to anything remotely like that.

Nope! I already combined them with my other silver dimes. I now have a full quart jar of silver Rosies, and I even have a nice start on my second quart jar.

Any interesting Mercs?
low mintage/key date etc?

Great to barter if we get to that. No way I can get bags in my area.

You know, now that you mention it, I just kinda counted the Mercs and threw them in the jar with my others without double checking the dates. I did glance at most of the dates as I went through the coin, and it was mostly 40s.

I usually ask for halves at the bank.. maybe I'll start asking for dimes or quarters. I even forget to ask about dollar coins unless the teller says oh we have big dollar coins too.. All clad but one day I may be lucky enough to get a Peace Dollar or a Morgan..

TIM: where in the world have you been hiding? I thought you may have WON the lottery and forgot how to CRH, and just washed the rest of us out with the skunks.
