Stopped into one of my local honey-holes and asked for dimes; got $200 worth of CWRs that only produced 1 roosie but the teller said some old lady dropped off a bunch of loose "thin" dimes and brought her tray over to me. She pulled out 4 mercs, all thin, one is a 1916 but the back is worn so much I cannot tell if it had a D there in the past or not! Is there any way to determine this with technology somehow? Another merc is missing exactly 25% of it, the bottom half of the front side of the dime, looks like the planchet cracked then was peeled off so no date can be read. Interestingly, she said there were a few more "thin" dimes and she had been giving some out as change since yesterday afternoon! :dontknow: I asked if the lady dropped off any halves too and she said yes and she had sold them to the other teller who then sold them to me: [12] 40%ers out of $8.50 worth! :headbang:

[12] 40%ers :icon_thumright:
[5] silver dimes :icon_thumleft:
[1] hour lunch break! :thumbsup:

that is a great lunch! congrats! All i had was enchiladas :D
 
Nice finds Im always looking for the proverbial " thin dime "
 
more silver to add to your impressive list of finds :thumbsup:

Hey $$ I just noticed that your list shows 107 roosie's but I believe it should be 1007 because I know you found your 1000th just recently. You'll probably be getting to 1000 40%ers before too long too. :thumbsup:
