A good year for dimes

[waseeker]

Well I totaled up my finds from CHR for the year. I don't keep all of the statistics some of you do but my major items were

Wheat Cents 9,837. Had hoped to get 10K. maybe in 2010.
Indian Head Cents 22. Helped by 6 in the month of December.
Silver Roosevelts 861. But only 1 complete set (1946-1964). I only got one 1958. I found at least 3 of every other date and mint mark.
Mercury Dimes 225. Helped by one cache of 178 mercs back in February.
Barber Dimes 1. This one was a total surprise.

Other totals are listed at the bottom of my post

I would say a very good year for dimes. I did 3-400 boxes and got 418 Roos and 30 Mercs, not even one complete set- the '49 NO MM eluded me. Congrats, Mark

I searched 103 $1k bags of dimes this year. I only get bags that come off of the self service coin counter and don't order any coin. I also did not get skunked on any bags this year. A couple of them only had 1 silver but of course there were the "good" ones too.

It helps to be retired and have the time to search. I have resisted doing the calculation to see what my rate of return is but I searched 1,030,000 dimes and 2,695,000 cents this year to get to those totals
