Silver dime finally

[Numismaniac]

Well,

Got another box of dimes today to try and turn my silver drought around.

Nothing awesome, but I'll take it. Got a 1956 Canadian and one silver FDR.

Good job, been thinking of getting into dimes just haven't managed to do it yet.

Luv those old 80% canadian dimes as much as mercs!

I know I'm new here, but, all those hesitant to try dimes, shouldn't be. I've had better luck with dimes than halves so far. They key to dimes is not to waste that much time looking at the roll; the silver stands out like a sore thumb.

Glad the skunk streak is over for you!

this is true most of the time. You dont need to look to hard but there are times when the older dimes like mercs do not stick out at all. They just look like a dirty clad dime. The other problem i have seen is barber dimes or if your lucky enough a seated dime can be very thin. The barber dimes i have found have been much thinner and can look like a clad edge amongst the clad dimes. Check fast but not to fast. HH

The constant strugge between finding more silver dimes and spending less time finding each. I have almost missed a few mercs, but all in all I would say it's about what you're looking for. if you want to find older coins, go slow. if you want silver, go fast.

I've only found one so far in quite a few boxes of dimes (80% canadians that is). they are a rare treat indeed, I agree on this one

Just be careful when you rim search. Last week, I saw a dime that didn't look right and upon turning is over found a 1943 Merc. The rim was dirty. Dimes do produce more often than halves.

I got three teller tray scores Yesterday. A 64, 63d, and 62d. One of a hole filler in my little album!

How many mercs have you found?
