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

That's a hell of cwr . I am starting to think I threw back my 39 PDS nickel set. Got a 39p this weekend and thought it was a 59p after further inspection I realized I might have tossed a few awesome keepers back into the wild.

Wow, congrats on your first '50D! That's a great find....any even better that its in AU condition!

Plus u found a silver nickel and a '38 nickel and a lot of dimes too - u did have a major day of finds!

Seems like a lot of great nickel finds lately. Maybe I can find one soon myself too lol.

 

[SanMartian]

Major congratulations on the 50D, that is superb! Your dimes were awesome, too. Great day, one for the books!

Looks like another pretty good week and another good nickel box. Actually u had a great week with nickels. The '50D was a great find and as u know is worth more than all the silver nickels u found this week. Btw, I bet u were a little excited at first when u saw another '50 nickel in your last box lol.

I'm less than halfway through a nickel box I got Friday for the wknd and so far my box is similar to your Friday box - I've found a '36 buffalo, '39(P) ender, and a '45D. Its kinda nice having a good nickel box after all my lousy half boxes lately. And if I can find another buffalo or silver that would be a great box for me.

There is not much difference between a 5 and a 3 in old Jefferson nickels.
Any Jeffeson nickel that you think is a 1958 or 1959, deserves a closer look.

you are doing really well with dimes, and i would like to do alot more dimes, because i like the merc dimes, and its real easy to get boxes, but the problem seems to be dumping, the first time i did dimes, i rerolled, and that was a time consuming task, and i did 2 boxes this past friday, found 1 1960 rosi, and dumped it at in a coin counter and it counted 34 dimes as cents... may i ask what is your preferred method? i would really like to put more boxes of dimes in my hunt, but the dumping is not really worth it, thanks

 

[Thorne]

I do 100$ at a time probably twice a week. And I find that if you dump them slow into the coin counter machine it has less errors.
