It took my a long time, but 5 rolls into my 10th box of dimes, out pops a 1943 mercury. Sweet! My first Mercury.

Merc's have been far and in between for me too, maybe 15-20 boxes. Good find either way you look at it. Congrats

How many rolls are in a box?
How do you go abut telling your bank that you would like to buy(aquire) that much change?

Congrats - 7up
I just started and have gone through 2 boxes of dimes with one silver found and a box of nickels with two "war nickels"....can't wait for a mercury.

Karuza82 - I believe there are 50 rolls per box. I personally just went into my bank (US Bank) and asked if they have any boxes. They don't carry half dollars, which i asked for, but were more than willing to order them for me when I asked. I proceeded to asked for a box of dimes, they grabbed it from the back without issue and told me they have a coin counter in the back as well when I was done. I brought it back plus some extra coins I had laying around the next day and picked up their only other box of dimes and a box of nickels...to which they told me they would order some more dimes with the half dollars.

I had previously went to a branch in a Grocery Store but they didn't have any boxes, but were more than willing to change out what they had behind the counter for dollars.

50 rolls in a box. The bank that I go to always has boxes of dimes(they have to go back and retrieve them--maybe from the vault) Almost all major banks are going to have boxes of coins--pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Half dollars they are probably going to have to order them for you--usually takes 3-4 days. Follow up as they usually lose your phone number....

Don't ever dump where you pickup, even if they say that it is fine. That's the #1 rule of crh.

Buffalo - thanks for the heads up reading the latest post about it and completely agree on the reasoning...setting up my dump bank tonight.

Congrats on your first merc. On my first ever dime hunt I found 22 mercs in one roll. I've probably searched thirty dime boxes since, and have yet to find another one. If you keep searching, you will eventually find a Barber. I'm still searching for my first Barber. Good luck.
