Internet was still down at work, so I hit some new banks and didn't find squat. Dumped yesterday's nickels and picked up a box of dimes, it was about 1/3 CWR in four different kinds of wrappers and 2/3 brinks. The CWR were skunks and a couple were short (one had two pennies crammed in it, so it ended up being 8 cents short), but the brinks had 3 silver rosies and an extra dime in one roll:

1963 D
1964
1996 Panamanian 1⁄10 Balboa
Also, some minor errors or possible errors, both dimes and some pennies I'm going through. The first appears to have a die plugged up with grease, obliterating the last digit of the date (might be a 2, 3 or 7). The second has a weird groove next to the rim. It doesn't look like post-mint damage because the rim is so well formed, so maybe a damaged planchet?
The first penny (a 2011) is just a nice die crack. Die cracks are not usually valuable, but this is a really nice looking one, easily visible without magnification and great eye appeal. The second (also a 2011) shows some clear doubling inside the "O" of "ONE CENT". It's not degraded die doubling, might be some sort of machine doubling, but could it be a double-die variety?
