Strange Dime Box

cuttybce · Jul 10, 2010

I got the most unusual dime box yesterday....90% of it was 2010-P. What made it really strange was that the rolls were not solid '10's - 1 or 2 older stragglers would be in each roll. So I guess the 2010's are becoming common now?

The march to 250 silver dimes for the year continues.....36 left to go.

HH everybody, cuttybce

You probably got a boundary box, when the rolling company dumps a new batch of dimes from the mint into the hopper, there is some old dimes from circulation in front of it, that is where mixing occurs

I did come across two keepers (both 64's).

This past weekend wasn't bad either - found a '59 silver Rosie in the return slot of two different Coinstar machines!

I know that the 2010 dimes are supposedly scarce, but yesterday I got one in change, and then I saw many more in the cashier's register. I wrangled two more from him, but he wouldn't give me any others, protesting that he needed them to give change to other customers. Well, I got three more in change today from the supermarket. I expect a flood of them any time now - anyone trying to sell rolls of them on eBay or elsewhere better do it now!

Oddly enough, along with the 2010 dime from yesterday, the cashier gave me a 1944 cent which still has mint luster on it. I was flabbergasted, and went back to the store to see if there were any more. Nope - all the other cents in the till were ordinary.
