I just picked up $250 worth of CWR in dimes. Produced 1 1945 Merc . A few of them were some old looking Worcester MA dime rolls but all of those produced a shunk. I still have one dime box to check out later tonight.
Id say 5 keepers in one box is a good box. And nice ender. I got 15 mwr's of halves from a bank yesterday that I just now got around to searching. The very first roll I looked at has what appears to be a reverse proof Kennedy on one end. Its very shinny and glossy and Id be surprised if its not proof and even more surprised if its silver which it doesn't appear to be. Idk why but Im not going to open the roll just yet to find out. Maybe I'll just keep it as a mystery roll cause I like thinking it just might be my first silver proof Ive found even though I know its most likely not.
I've started doing that lately. Anytime I find an ender roll I just keep the roll unopened. I have an '89S half dollar ender roll, 3 wheat cent ender rolls, a '35 buffalo nickel ender roll and with that same batch of nickel rolls I found a 1913 type 1 full date buffalo ender but for some reason I opened that roll before checking the ends first. Unfortunately it has the light machine circle on the face of the coin so I wish it hadn't been an ender. But since it was I wish I hadn't opened that roll. That would have been a nice ender roll to keep unopened.
I was only able to get my hands on 1 box of dimes today. I was looking a shunk right in the face. I had one roll left and I lucked out with a 1961 Rosie!
Its esp nice finding silver when ur thinking for sure ur about to get skunked. I haven't searched dimes in a while but I remember the same thing happened to me a couple of years ago when I thought I was about to get skunked on a dime box and I found a silver Rosie in literally the next to last coin in the last roll. Im not sure why I remember things like that but I tend to remember a lot of my crhing finds.
