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

My average for 2013 is 1.47 dimes per box.

Most boxes have 0-2 silver dimes. By keeping my volume up (10 boxes a week), I find the higher producing boxes (3-21).

For me, I feel like I'm getting pretty good at knowing the edges of post-68 canadian dimes, 5 pence, and 1 won. I believe I've only found one Panamanian dime so far, but I feel like you develop an eye to tell when something's not right.

 

[MIhunter]

This Panamanian dime had different reeding.

I have only found 3 so far.
A 1932 silver that looked like any other old silver dime and
Two CuNi ones. I may have missed others.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

I have found hundreds of them, I've saved them though because it doesn't feel right to me setting foreign coins back into circulation.
