Still shaking from this find... don't know where to start!
Went to a new bank today, a Scotiabank a little ways out of my local bank circle. I asked for dimes, and they said that they had 7 rolls which were all customer wrapped. I took them all. I then proceed to go to three other banks, picking up 17 more CWRs of dimes. When I got home, I started on the rolls. Nothing in the first 11, so I move on to the rolls I got from Scotiabank. I open the end of the first roll, and a 1943 stares back at me.
I stay calm, and peek at the other end of the roll. A 1963 proof!
I then go all out and dump the roll onto the table. Solid silver!!! 50 silver dimes ranging from 1938-1968!!
The next six rolls were also solid silver!! Oldest was 1893!!! Only 15 non-silver in the 7 rolls.

I rushed straight back to the bank afterwards to see if the person dropped off anything else. Just 5 rolls of nickels. I'll put that in another thread!
It's out there, you've just got to look hard enough!
