Afternoons find

[Iamrussell]

I picked up $100 in dimes and $60 in halves from one bank
$25 in dimes from another bank
And then a box of dimes from my CU-

So I started with the $125 in dimes and to my astonishment they were all brand new probably uncirculated shiny 2012 dimes

The halves where CRW and nothing, each roll was a different year- 71,72,73, 2rolls of the 1776-1976 then a 79 roll and then a misc 80-90 roll

So I dove into the box of dimes- and the 1st 10 rolls again all brand new shiny 2012s, started thinking maybe I should just stop and dump them, but then I saw an end coin that was dirty so I opened it and it was mixed of brand new shiny 2012 and older dimes- so thought ok this ones mixed so lets keep going. Half way through and majority where brand new rolls with very few older mixed in- got down to the last 10 rolls and were seeing more mixed coins and then I saw it a no doubt silver, pulled it out and a '45 merc- man am I glad I didn't go with my 1st thought and dump the box-

very nice! I bet that merc was a nice surprise. I remember the first one of those I found

Always search them all. You never know what will happen. I think Buff had a box that had all 2012 cents, except for 1 wheat cent.

Believe it or not, some of my best dime boxes were "partial" 2012 dime boxes, I've found a lone silver mixed in with a solid 2012 dime roll before as well as a few silver dimes mixed in with dime rolls containing mostly 2012 dimes... however, dimes have been so skunky lately..
