Magic dime box and silver porn picture

[jr98119]

Got my monthly dime boxes and put them through my sorter. Instead of the usual 1.75 silvers per box, one had 18 (2 mercs and 16 FDRs) and another had 10 (1 merc and 9 FDRs). I must have hit some collection dump - the 18 FDRs were almost all uncirculated '64s.



Sorry about the double picture of the dime box - I hit upload twice.

In curious as well. If I designed it I would have gone by electrical resistance. So curious what he did

Cool finds!
And that's a sweet setup you've got there. Nice work

That is a very cool setup. It looks like he used gaming coin validator that utilizes a magnetic induction system. Definitely worthy of a silver duct tape award.

Very "MacGyverish", love the idea. Only bad thing about such a setup is if you are into searching for errors they would be skipped, but definitely cool setup.

I hate to give away trade secrets, but years ago some posters were posting about how to sort coins this way. You can look up Madwest who posted on this 4/11/11 and others before and after. My son and I spent a year trying to get this right and we finally did, so I treat the apparatus that you see in the picture like pearls. This setup is great for dimes, especially the dirty ones that you wouldn't know are silver. I still haven't been able to tweak it so that Canadian 80% dimes get spit out, only U.S. 90% dimes.
