Todays Totals

13 Rosies
3 Mercs
1 Silver Canadian

Not the results I was hoping for, but nothing to complain about either. I have never had so many skunk boxes of dimes. The other really interesting thing about today was I only got 1 foreign coin. It just so happened to be the silver Canadian, a 1959. I did not even find any modern Canadians, which was really weird. I was able to finish off my third roll of Rosies today so that is a milestone for me. I started CRH near the end of May so I'm quite happy with my "hoard" so far.

Pretty typical results. You got 17 silver out of 10 boxes or 1.7/box average. My average for 2011 is 1.58/box.

Hey Kimikiri,

Are the rolls you search wrapped in paper or the clear plastic wrappers? All I can seem to find in boxes I buy are clear wrappers and all skunks out of maybe 3 or 4 whole boxes searched. My best luck came from CWRs.

I'm not sure but maybe all rolls of dimes in boxes have the plastic wrapper.

In my neck of the woods it is quite the opposite. Almost all banks use the white and green Strings paper wrapped coin. I have no idea what is going on with WF because they are always different. The only clear wraps I ever get in my area are from BoA.

Do you like the clear wraps? I can see them being easy to look over and dump because you dont have to unroll them unless you see silver. On the other hand maybe they are already "looked through" by the time we get them...?
