I couldnt help myself !

I couldn't help myself !

I'm a hopeless addict ! I did stay away from CRH on the remainder of my days off,but I've had a monkey on my back all week so I picked up 10 boxes of dimes yesterday.
Recieved my first three unmarked dime boxes and they produced no silver. Besides the time I got a dime box with all 2008 dimes I don't believe that I've been skunked on dime boxes.
The other seven boxes produced 13 Rosies.
This meager find stopped the craving,sweats,and tremors.

10 boxes of dimes? That makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it.

I use magnifying glasses. You can get them at good hobby stores.

I use a flip down jewelers magnifier. Only cost $10-15 several years ago and it is hands free and always in focus. (unlike a hand held glass)

Here is where I found the pic.

When I go to yard sales I always take my magnifier with a neck strap. Cost $6-8 but well worth it. It even has an LED for looking in dimly lit garages.

I got mine on ebay but that seller quit. Here is a place to buy.

I know I'm getting old, and need reading glasses to even edge-scan, but, are you crh'ers checking the entire roll/dates? Just wondering, 'cause I don't.

It's been hours since I opened a roll and I'm beside myself. Where's a bank? Where's a baaank!

Re: I couldn't help myself !

Oh, and I do check every coin. I'm looking for that elusive 70, 87, or 2003+ for my folder. Also, I don't totally trust myself edge searching yet.

Better results than I had with my dimes yesterday. 11 boxes gave up 7 Rosies and 2 Mercs. HH Mark

Re: I couldn't help myself !

never look at the dates with dimes.
i just rim search, i doubt i ever missed a silver. i can spot the nice ones, plus i just take out the dark ones just in case.

That is alot of dimes. 13 keepers is good though.
