I picked-up a $500 bag of dimes from a counting machine at a bank I don't have an account at. They were very happy to sell them to me so i think I'll try to buy some more bags.

I found a 1949-S, 1952, 1964-D, 3 Canadian dimes, 3 cents, 2 nickels, and 2 quarters.

The 1949-S has the lowest mintage highest value in the Roosevelt dime series and is the key date.

Good find but the 1955 has lower mintage on business strikes

1949 S Mintage 13,510,000 No Proofs
1955 Mintage 12,450,181 PROOFS 378,200

My bad. I knew the 49-S had the highest value in the series and was considered the key so I thought it was the lowest mintage, but the 55 is lower.

Thanks for the correction.
 

Although its hard to see the date in the pic, if I am reading it correct and judging by the color, I am guessing that's a 1968 silver canadian dime as well....
