Your take on a good dime box

apush · Jul 26, 2011

Everyone has their own standards. Here is mine for a dime box:

1 silver dime = Fair
2 silver dimes = Good
3 silver dimes = Excellent
Anything over 3+ = Bonus (and I am happy :laughing9:

)

I am trying to build my pile so I can take pics like Diver_Down and his famous cigar containers. My favorite all time CRHing pic. It is a fab pic if you have not seen it! LOL

Not gonna happen in this lifetime! But I do try. :tongue3:

I think, if I recall correctly, my best single dime box was 6 or 7. But only one like that. Last dime box I hit 3 rosies. Picking up 6 dime boxes on Friday. I finally have 2 full rolls of rosies and a quarter roll of mercs. I gotta pick up the pace :laughing7:

Looks like I need to smoke a few cigars so I can get some nice containers for dimes Currently using a pop-top medicine bottle... obviously I haven't collected too many yet.

The tubes are glass. The stoppers are plastic or cork. I got them from my grandfather when cleaning out his estate. He just saved the glass tubes empty. The box is mahogany that was picked up at a yard sale for $3. It makes a nice presentation. I'm not sure if cigars are still sold in glass tubes. I don't smoke, but I keep a lookout at garage sales and the like.
