So I decided to search some dimes before work today and figured I'd give the usual bank I visit a break. I went to a fairly new location to me and ended up only one box since funds are low until payday. Anyway, got to work and started busting in the parking lot. I figured it would take me the usual 20 or so minutes and was really early as is.

The first 3 rolls produced all clad but roll 4 contained 5 silvers! Roll 5 had 3 silvers, roll 6 had 4 silvers and to be honest the rest of the box went this way. It took me well over an hour to open this box and it contained 3 enders including a merc. It seemed as if there were more rolls with silver than without and they all had multiple! There were 3 rolls containing 5 and many more containing 3 or 4.

Total count: 8 Mercs and 65 Rosies!

I just starting coin roll hunting and this was my 10th box of dimes. It was hard for me to start work then but on my lunch break I cashed in the clad and went to that same bank to get another box. This one only had 1 silver but I had to give it a shot with what just happened.

Anyway I'll get some pictures posted tomorrow. I went from 22 dimes to 96 in 1 day!

Awesome! Dime boxes like that are unheard of. Congrats!!
 

I asked the teller if I could buy a bag but he said all change the customers bring in get bagged and shipped out. He said all boxed coins are shipped to the branch. Not sure how they all came in one box??? I will be getting a bunch more boxes from that location asap.
 

Wow very nice!! How many halfs would that be??
 

^^ 14.6 90% halves. Not very many in comparison.
 

nice box of dimes, my best box had 5 dimes but lately all boxes have been solid 2012 or 2011
 

or 36 40% in a $250 box, multiply that to make it $500 and it is equal to about 71 40%-- I rounded my answers, my math is not wrong.
