Did 5 dime boxes and almost got skunked

[capitalfun8]

Hi fellow coin roll hunters after I dumped some coin at my dump bank I drove to a few banks and picked up 5 boxes of dimes. When I got home I started to unwrap and look for silver after the first 2 boxes and absolutely no silver I started to get annoyed. I then started to do the rest of the boxes and when I had a few rolls left I commented to my wife saying wow I cant believe no silver after 5 boxes when there is always silver in every box but then I found this gem of a dime. pictures below

No I switched to Loomis because I always got brinks because that was my main pickup bank but saw online some other CRH in my area was doing a little better with loomis so I tested the water did 12 boxes last week all loomis and got 17 rosies and 3 mercs which was crazy on the mercs because brinks only yielded 1 merc in the year of doing like 3 to 4 boxes of brinks a week.

I do much better with Loomis dimes and nickels as well, gonna see if I can find a place to get Loomis halves as well. All I've found are Brinks halves and getting skunked.

Nice find. Good condition for a seated. Someone's kid must have been scrounging for candy money and pulled it from mom and dad's collection...
