Major Dime Score $500 = 84 Silvers Total - 71 Mercuries --PIC

[MentalUnrest]

Was visiting Relatives in Illinois this weekend and stopped at few banks. This area is served by Brinks so all I was getting was the clear wraps. Last bank I went to had hand rolled and gave me $500 worth. After several rolls of nothing, I opened one with 8 silvers - all Mercs. Rest of rolls were incredible with one roll having 10 Mercs. There is an amazing range of dates from the teens, 20's and 30's as well as 40's. All are in good shape with none having smoothed out dates - Some are in excellent shape! Total score was 84 silvers with 71 being Mercs.

I will be back there next month and am heading there first thing to see if they have any more dimes as well as quarters - They had no halves.

Any key dates in there? Look out for the 1942/1 overdate both P (which is pretty obvious) and the D (which isn't as obvious).

Nice score. Was this from a box or CWRs?

Someone definitely turned in their grandfather's or other relative's collection. Nice score!

why are there 24 rosies in the bunch? 84 total coins, and with 71 mercs, how does that add up? maybe miscount?

Re: Major Dime Score $500 = 84 Silvers Total - 60 Mercuries --PIC

Yeah, I miscounted the mercuries. It was 60 mercuries and 24 rosies.

Nice haul Mental! Dimes add up too

 

[clovis97]

In two boxes worth of dimes, you found almost 4X the amount of dimes that I've found in about 8 months of CRHing.

Oh my that is a dream find! Would love to get a box like that

Last week you were complaining about not being able to get coins at Illinois banks without an account. Maybe fate was doing you a favor. Really nice score!

 

[MentalUnrest]

Yeah, it was great way to end the trip. I was able to get 9 boxes of brinks and everyone of them was a skunk. This score was from CWRs.
