I've been really busy the past few months (all good stuff!), so I've only gotten in a little CRH. Furthermore, after getting just 3 boxes of halves (ordered one at a time, and with good results--38 40%, 6 40%, and a skunk with a 1987-P) from my bank, they said they can't order coins for customers anymore. I've been picking up just a little every week--$20 dimes, $4 nickels, $1 pennies in CWR. Three weeks ago I got one silver Roosevelt dime in one of the rolls, and then... Two weeks ago I went to my regular bank (the one that won't order halves for me anymore) and after doing my regular banking asked for the usual rolled coin. A teller who knows me had to get it out from under the counter and casually said "We have silver dimes this time!" I quickly thought "Well... what else could 'silver dimes' mean but silver dimes?" And he plops on the counter along with the CWR nickels and pennies... 4 plastic tubes of dimes, obviously solid silver from the edges. I (trying to be casual) asked if there were any more, and he said "Nope, that's it." I know he would have told me if there were any halves, and since he didn't seem to mind giving away the dimes I guess he would have mentioned any similar quarters. I know I could have asked, but hey... it was a little hard to think... 
Here's the total:
30 Mercs
170 silver Roosevelts
and 1 rogue 1966 Roosevelt
Unless I counted wrong, one roll must have had an extra, because after removing the clad one, the count was 200.
I only expect crazy stuff like this to happen to other Tnet members, not me! (especially since I'm far from a hardcore CRH-er right now)
Part II since I've put off taking a picture so long and didn't want to post without one... I went to another bank this week, and the teller told me that the other teller is on vacation, but when she gets back Monday she has in her drawer a bunch of silver dollars and half dollars. I'll be sure to post when I find out exactly what that means.

I've only gotten dimes in plastic tubes once. They had four silvers dimes so not so impressive but I do like the tubes.
