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

Dumped my halves today and decided to try some CWR dimes. I picked up $75 in Dimes and $3 in Loose Halves.

Found a 1976 Proof in the loose halves. Would have liked to find another date since I already have a 76 proof.

Now to the most important part of this post...I found one 1959 D! My first silver dime find! Boy those silver dimes do stick out amongst the clad. Today is a good day.

I have never found a silver dime in a roll, but found many from coinstar and one from teller (recongnized it when she was sorting them).

CWR halves are running scarce around my area. Picked up $80 in CWR dimes. Found a 61' and a 47' D!

Went to the bank to pick up rolls of dimes. Asked for $200. Teller gave me $105 in BWR and $95 in CWR. Well it turned out that the BWRs were all uncirculated 2012s

The CWRs were all skunks. Found 4 Canadian dimes so I'm out $0.40.

Those Canadian Dimes are such teases. Thought I scored seeing those silver rims. My hopes were quickly dashed.

Canadian dime edges are a different "white" shade then silver coins.

I already got that expirienced to the point when I can differentiate between steel/nickel edge and silver edge. The silver ones are more lighter in their hue.

Yes but seeing that rim against the other clad rims gives you a sliver of hope for one nanosecond.

I got my first MWR merc this week, 1941. Found a 1917S merc in some CWR about 4 months ago.

 

[MIhunter]

Kudos on the Mercs, they always bring a smile to my face.

One box I opened up this week had two mercs in a single roll. That was the only silver in the box. I actually missed one of the mercs but my good ears heard the silver and I looked down and there was a second one. Glad I heard it!

i have an ear for silver, but i have to admit, i cannot hear a silver dime drop amongst other dimes... too little of a pitch difference for me...

My eyes are better than my ears. I can't say I have ever heard silver that I didn't see.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

some of those dirty dime edges are pretty tricky... I pulled an AU 1955-S roosie back in march before all the 2012 dimes, the coin ws really toned on the front and the edges, i almost missed it- the front had a purple/orange tone to it and the back was blazing white.
