$1100 dimes - proof and old Canadians

[fistfulladirt]

$700 handrolled, $250 box, $150 clear-wrapped(duds). Got Canadians #16 and 17 for the year. One '93 clad proof (never thought i'd get one, pays to check those fatties).
At BOA poached a $400 partial box of halves. 5 40's and '83 clad proof. Someone ordered the box and never returned for the rest. They were glad to get rid of 'em. Small-scale CRH'ing is fun. ffd

Sweet silver from Canada. What camera do you use? The pictures are awesome. Nice score on the Roosevelt clad proof. I've never come across one in the wild. Guess I have to start checking those fatties.

When you say "fattie" do you mean they have a greater width than others? I must say I've seen some but never bothered to look as they did not have a silver edge.

Thanks, I use a Canon powershot SD780.

After looking at 200,000+ dimes this year I was wondering when I'd get one, yep they are fat, but so were thousands of others!@! This one was maybe extra crispy! ffd

Congrats on getting cheap silver.

Nice finds. I really like those old Canadian dimes. I don't have any.

The pics are great. I use a Canon Powershot SD750. I had another Canon Powershot that I loved, but I got it wet. I then bought a Sony which took good pics, but was a pain in the arse to use, so I quickly took it back and bought my SD750. I love those Canons. They're very user friendly and make great presents. That's actually how I got my first one.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck

Nice finds with those dimes. The King George's are tough to find. Great photos too

Just a question. I received 250 dollars in dimes. They came in a Brinks box and wrapped in that clear plastic. I read some where you can save a lot of time just looking at the rims. I did that and found one silver dime. Would it be wise to just open them all up? Next time should I ask for ones customers turned in? Just wondering.

nice finds, love those canadians, the only place I have ever found old canadian silver was in the ground, found with my detector...lol

Really nice find. I really like those proofs too, just as hard to find those as it is to find silver.
