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!

What are the years and mintmarks on the Mercury dimes?
