Work let me and everyone else in my department off early today, so I decided to run up to Salt Lake County for a road trip. None of the banks had much of anything until I found one that had $465 in CWR dimes. I bought $250 of them at first, and searched the first roll on my way out of the bank. That first roll had a 1948 silver Roosie. After some thinking, I went back into that bank and bought the rest of the dimes. I did not want to waste this potential silver strike. A couple of banks afterward had some loose halves and a roll, which were skunks. The finds from the rolls were:

2 Silver Roosies
a British Five Pence Coin
2 Canadian Dimes(both are magnetic steel)
a roll which had 2 extra dimes

However, the teller also warned me that the rolls might be short. She was correct as I found 3 Pennies in the rolls. Luckily, on the third one, after I switched the penny for a dime, I counted 51 dimes. I'm pretty sure the shorts were made up by the extra 2 dime roll alone, and if not, then certainly by the 2 Silver Roosies.

nice scores! congrats! keep it up and hh!

nice scores!! LOL

Chainchomp are you trying to break the record for most posts on the forum?.. LOL

I will say 2 keepers out of almost a box isn't bad.. slightly above the average of 1 keeper per box.
 
nice little score! You guys count your dimes? Wish I had the time, but if I'm zippin thru a grand or two, just no time to count. I don't think i've counted in at least 80-100 grand worth.
 
Congs on the silver dimes. I also do not count my coins. I also find when I take my coins in sometime they will be short. But what are we going to complain that we are missing 1 or 2 dimes per box. My last box of halfs was shorted by 3. When you find silver you don't mind being short a couple but when the boxes are skunks then I mind.....Matt

Really are you serious??? 7 posts a day, maybe with 50 but I see Chainchomp's post in other forums. I read at least 7 threads a day...big freakin deal. GEEEZZZZZZ people :tongue3:

Enough of the personal attacks!!!!
 
With CWR, I always reroll, and if I have reason to believe a roll is short or over, I will count it. I never count Brinks or Loomis rolled coins though.

I took what SFBayArea said as a joke, as I was joking as well. Hope you don't take offense, Chainchomp. Doesn't bother me if someone posts 100 times a day. Is there any humor left in this world :laughing9:
