Dimes produced silver, proofs

[mrbelvetron]

Picked up $75 in handrolled dimes and a dime box yesterday, along with a nickel and penny box.

Did the dimes last night before bed and got....

1 rosy 1964-D from the handrolls and the box yielded...

1 1988-S proof
1 1972-S proof
and a sneaky 1973 Canadian who's edge made me think silver Dang Canucks!!!!

Those are my first proof dimes found and they were in pretty nice shape with nice fields and decent cameo.
Will do the nicks and cents tonight.

Sweet, I have only found 1 dime proof in probably 100 dime boxes.

I hunted for about two years before I found my first proof half. I figured it would be even longer before I got a dime or other denomination, especially since I usually do only halves.

I average one silver dime per box, but the proofs were nice surprise.
