Merc #5 for the year

[fistfulladirt]

Had the flu last couple days, so my day off it was all I could do to pick up my 4 dime boxes and head back home. I also grabbed $50 in rolled halves at my adjoining bank.
2 boxes produced nothing. Weird that I pulled 3 '59 roosies. ffd

Nice score on the Merc......getting harder and harder to find. Great job!

Great dimes score. The Mercs looks to be in pretty good shape with separation on the ropes visible.

Golden Silver

I wish I could find a few more Mercs...

In the last month+ I've sorted 22 CWI boxes and three $500.00 bags (from a bank coin counter)...total of 28 equivalent boxes. I've found only 1 Merc (a 1934). Also found 1 Canadian Ag dime (a 1961) and 47 silver Roosies from these 28 equivalent boxes. I am averaging approximately 1.7 silver dimes per equivalent box.

Jeff, I have searched roughly 37 CWI boxes this year with an average of just under 2 silver per box. One merc every 7.5 boxes, and one silver canadian (pre '68) every 3.5 boxes. ffd

ffd -

You must live near the Canadian border to find so many Canadian Ag dimes. Detroit area The Canadian silvers are nice to find...lighter than US and only 80%, but they provide a little variety. I'm in SE Wisconsin so I see some Canadian coin around here, but probably far less than you. If you are from around Detroit, it's possible that city's struggling economy might be helping your dime average. I'm due for a run of mercs...
