DIMES

[MIhunter]

All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday
Box #1 4 FDRs and 1x1968 Canadian (50% Ag)
Box #2 1 FDR
Box #3 1 Merc (1944)
Wed
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 skunk
Thurs
Box #1 shunk
Box #2 2 FDRs
Box #3 shunk

Totals: 14 US silver dimes and one 50% Canadian dime

Just out of curiosity, what has been your best dime box ever? You seem to primarily hunt dimes, which is why I ask.

Best CWR was 50 silver dimes in $100 CWR

Nice! That must've been exciting, especially the CWRs!

Friday
For those who have been following, this has been a tough week. Plenty of skunks with the rest being low yield (1-2 silver dimes per box), but today I had a reversal of fortune.

$100 MWR Loomis: 1937, 1942, 1947, 1950, 1959D, 1964x3

This week's total: 18 silver dimes (16 FDR, 2 Merc)
1.3 oz of silver for $1.80

Right me too. I had skunks all week in the Metro Lansing area. So I figured I'd get a nickel box and some halves. In the process I only got $40 in dimes $30 MWR and $10 CWR. Out of the $30 MWR it had 2 pre-65's.. :-D The halves had one roll that was all 99 and up S mint proof UNC grade.. Don't know if they're worth a lick but cool to look at. lol

How were you able to identify this one? Do you go through every dime and check the dates?

You can tell by the rim color.. it just looks different..

It's usually thicker.

too busy sledding with kids for coin stuff

I would love to do that here, too bad we have no big snow yet this season.

Keep up the search, I don't post much on your log but follow it every day.

I generally edge search only, but I can't spot a copper-nickel proof from edge searching. If a coin catches my eye (shiny, thick) I will take a look. Lately I have found 2 proofs, which is a lot for me.

Sunday
I couldn't find much coin today but did well given the low volume.
