So I went on a little mission today to pick up as many dime boxes as I could get my hands on. Here is what I was able to recover:

Before I tell you my results, I have to tell you about a stop I made at one of the banks that coulden't give me a box, and only gave me $35 in rolls. She handed me all paper wrappers, and one brinks wrapper with a nice silver rim in the middle. Well it was the first roll I opened when I got home, and it turned out to be my first Mercury dime FINALLY. I was pretty excited to search through the massive pile of dime boxes I have.

Wow. That’s impressive volume! I would buy a holder for that '64 as well. Good finds, keep it up!!!
 
I think the 1964 was part of someones collection, there is no way it has been circulated for very long, hardly a scratch on it, and definitely wasn't cleaned. I have a feeling it got dumped into a coin counter, and sat in the roll until I plucked it out.

Can't wait to dump the $2k and buy up some more boxes. None of these came from my order banks :D
 
Congrats, great pix!

People get skunked on 10 boxes of halves, but never will you get skunked on 10 boxes of dimes. If you do, the silver has finally run dry.

Dimes are so much FUN to find in the wild !

I dime in a whole box makes the effort worth it.

Keep on Rollin' !
