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

Good boxes in Michigan lately.. Hell I even got a Brinks boxes yesterday that had a 1963d, 1957, and a 1965 Canadian 80%er. My Loomis S&S wrapped box had a 1958d, and 1941 Merc. Two boxes of nickels produced 2 45 war nickels too. Not a bad day overall. Usually don't find Mercs often. I've found 5 in the last couple weeks. Not a bad time for Michigan. We're on the upswing both CRH wise and economically. ;-) Just hope our friendly neighborhood EM can save our iconic Detroit City, ole Gilbert can't do it alone.

Box of dimes:

3 2009 Ps and a 2008 10 Koneek. I think it is Russian if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, the 10 kopecks is Russian.

Do you keep track on how much Canadian copper you find compared to non-copper Canadian? I would imagine the percentage to be high, since copper was withdrawn about 15 years later in Canada than the US.

I find more Canadian coppers than non
I average about thirty coppers per box and about 10 copper plated zinc.
Most boxes don't have any steel pennies or at most 1-2.
