Today's finds

Picked up one 40% from a teller tray and 200 in mixed CWR,MWR dimes. Gave up one 1964 FDR which had a tarnished edge. Almost missed it. Gotta check those edges close! Got a few boxes of dimes to pick up tomorrow...

I agree, gotta check them edges. Missed an edge once, the coin machine spit the coin back to me!

Not a bad day.. Better than getting skunked.. I have found so many dark dimes that you can barely see are silver.. You really do have to keep a close eye..
 
I learned my lesson after almost missing a Ben! Now I double check any coin that isn't obviously clad. I have found a handful of 40s that actually looked exactly like clad from the edges... Since they are only 40%, sometimes the copper shows thru on the edge, unlike the 90s, whose silver content always drowns out any copper color.
 
Dawg I sometimes make the tellers search the halves for me and sell me just the silver ones. It causes a huge line in the bank but who cares?
 
Exactly, the kind of people you are holding up, are more than likely the kind of people who write checks and hold you up in a grocerry store. "It depends....., what year's are they."
