$200 in dimes searched

[Luck Be a Lady]

Spent the last 2 nights searching through my dimes. Last night I found three silver Roosevelts in my first $100:

1948S
1962D
1963D

In my last $100 I found none

On to my $25 box of pennies.

Good for you... and more power to you. I just can not look at dimes. They give me a head ache. And I really don't like looking at pennies so I am happy for you that you do like them. Someboday's got to do it.

Good Luck and HH

Thats a pretty good return.
I generally find about 1 per box, When I do dimes I generally do at least $750 worth, and get maybe 1 per $100 worth or less.

Congrats!

We'll be making a road trip on Thursday so we'll pick up whatever we can get our hands on! I hope there's just as much in the next batch too.

Nice, I bought $100 today.... they are all 2007's and look like they have never been circulated.
To bad I have to bust em' open to get my $$ back.

Just take em back.
When I go and ask for coins that are still being made I just ask nicely for the coins that are not shiny though the holes in the top of the box, and request older looking darker coins because I need them for my collection. that will save you from getting boxes you dont want, as well as is helpful too the tellers so they dont have to lug boxes back and forth if they can check em at the vault.
Otherwise they are good for spending yes. I have had more tellers thank me for spending a few rolls in coins because they are always saying, Oh hey we needed more of these!

Also, if you say have 10 worth and buy a 3 dollar item, ask them to treat it like a $10 bill, and you get cash back, they are a unit of currency as they stand

Yes, that is a pretty decent ratio. Sweet!! I like checking dimes......they are fun even though the yield is much lower than halves. Maybe it is because the silver sticks out like a sore thumb...lol.

Good luck on the next batch & Keep em coming.....
