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

Question to MIhunter:
With the volume of dimes you show every week, do you buy them all on one day ( I.e.12-boxes) all at once? Or are you floating your money every day or two, and only get boxes you plan on counting that night? Do you have a good logistics plan?

 

[MIhunter]

Sound like MWR dimes are a lot better than CWR, I barely get anything from cwr in my area. I might try a mwr box..
Good luck!
