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

Went over a box today, nothing... Walked into the TD bank today and saw the teller happen to be my friend... talked and he showed me his tray... bottom row, bunch of silver quarters and dimes maybe 4-5 inches across. I was so jealous.

Hay MI; from reading a majority of your postings over the past few months, it appears that a family of SKUNKS have moved in under your house. Best remedy to rid them out is to find a Mother Load of AG dimes. That would chase them away for a time. Good luck & HH.

Yeah, I've been getting straight skunk boxes for the last 2 weeks - all sparklers. I thought that the new dimes came out in April/May. Anyone else having this?

My skunk rate has risen, also I have haven't found more than 2 silver dimes per box sine Oct 15 (21 silvers in a box)
I have reduced my volume (busy with other things).
This year, more fun with nickels than anything else (1950Dx2, 1939D, 1939S, V nickelx3, buffs with dates x17, war nicksx42, KGV Canadian nickel, Canadian nickel bullion, higher grade early Jeffersons (>EF40,), etc

Dimes are down this year no doubt.

Box 6, one 1953D.... getting a ratio of 1 silver for every 2 box, here in Brooklyn, NY.

Do you search nickels or halves
1 dime per 2 boxes may not be worth it, you might to better with nickels or halves

I'm working on opening a account with a bank that orders half dollars. I've only searched boxes of dimes so far, did 10 rolls of quarters. Thinking about getting two boxes per pick up now..

 

[Darth Walker]

I which my ratio was that high

 

[Sleepy Holow]

Yes I have 2 complete sets of business strike FDRs 1946-64 plus 4 silver proofs 1957, 1963, 1999S, 2003S.
In total 1897 silver FDRs

Sounds like you ended up finding that elusive 1949 dime this year...awesome job.
