Picked up a box of dimes this morning

[USMCLion]

After straining my eyes for what seemed like hours I came away with three silver rosies 61,62, and 48.
Silver is silver I guess.

Dimes are the easiest to hunt. I get them in those clear wrappers. I only edge search takes only a few seconds per roll. If I see a white (silver) strip among the clad I break open the roll. If not I keep it rolled up.

Some foreign coins will look like silver though.

Sometimes I buy $500 bags of dimes then I take a small handfull and put it in a "v" shaped tray I built. It lines up all the coins just like they were in a clear wrapper.

Three silver dimes in a box is pretty good in my experience.

3 that sounds good to me. Dimes have been pretty good to me over on this end. I average about 1-2 a box. my best was 5. so far i have 33 rosies and 4 mercs. Keep it up

I've done a few dime boxes too. they were the clear wrappers. 1 per box, no mercs.

 

[low xtreme]

yeah, that's not bad. i've been getting 1 per box if i'm lucky.

The V-tray is a great idea!

Edge checks in plastic rolls are quick & easy - slit the roll, pull the silver and replace with clad - scotch tape it and put it on the bottom row in the box.
You can then return a full box of dimes with little trouble. Be sure you look with a magnifier for the dirty rim silver.

Bag coins should be "face" checked first. Put them in a box top and swish the around -look for anything unusual. I've found dirty edged mercs that would have never been found by edge searching.
