All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

Okay could you or someone answer this lol what would you do if no banks around you had no free coin machines? Wild you just roll them back up or what it the best way if no machines? I spend more time rolling everything back up than I would like. Any other options?

ask your local banks that you have accounts with about turning in large sum of coins, how they want it and stuff... We cant give you answers that are limited to your area... Would love to help but thats the best i can offer..

My arrangement allowed me to dump $500 in bagged rolled coin. Before that, I was allowed to dump $500 in loose dimes over the counter (the C.U. put an end to that after a year or two). The tellers would have to unwrap the rolls, and send out the dimes loose anyways, but towards the end would only accept rolled coin. Re-rolling dimes wasn't a problem for me as I could edge search and re-roll $5 in about 10 seconds if I wasn't in a hurry.

10 seconds dang that's fast! I just edge search as well I don't bother checking the faces of them. If machined rolled I just rip the paper along the length of it and wrap it back up and tape it lol that's the fastest I've found

I've only read the last 10 pages of these 1127 posts. Interesting.
Anyone have their tally since thread began?(just over 2 years)
That would be hard numbers. City and or state also.

Pulled a 64 roosie out of a coinstar today! My first coinstar reject find! Along with it were some Canadian coins and some nice 2010 dimes as well... How do nicer new dimes get rejected??

This Panama coin was a very interesting find for me, surely a surprise. Would have been more cool if it was silver and not clad, as it has a copper edge like a heavily worn dime.

Panamanian coins were minted in the US up until 1983, fun fact, and is on a 1:1 parity with the dollar. You have yourself a Panamanian dime.

I can tell that '68 Canadian is silver, just by the patina!

Yeah, the box produced one of the modern Canadian dimes, right away I noticed the 68 was different from the 1992 one. The 1992 has a more blue to it, and it was also magnetic...
