NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/07/2026 10:06 pm TomM: I don't consider any Roosevelt dime to be a key date. Except for 1955, the coins struck at the San Francisco mint have lower mintages each year than the coins struck at the Denver or Philadelphia mints. So it is always pleasing to find a Roosevelt dime with an S mintmark. The lowest mintages of this series are the 1949-S, and 1955 dimes struck at all three mints. Report this Post to the Staff
pound_foolish Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 01/08/2026 06:04 am Heck yes! Good to see someone hitting silver in dimes! Report this Post to the Staff
TomM Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 01/08/2026 06:31 am Yes, the 1949-S and all three 1955 dimes are the dates I'm referring to. They have always been difficult to find in circulation (according to my father, who searched for them in the 1950s). Were any of those in the roll you found? Report this Post to the Staff
NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/08/2026 9:09 pm I examined the coins in the roll. It contained two key dates --1949-S and 1955-S. This roll contains so many different dates and mintmarks that I think it is a blend of coins from a Roosevelt dime collection, plus a large number of uncirculated 1963 and 1964 dimes that later were added to the coins removed from an album.

TomM Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 01/09/2026 09:52 am Wow! That's a pretty good roll, NorthShoreMA. Definitely must be from someone's collection to have that many low-mintage and San Francisco dates on the east coast. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorHunter1 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 01/14/2026 10:18 pm So far I've found 5 silver Roosevelt dimes, 1 80% Canadian dime and one silver Washington this year. Not a bad start. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 02/07/2026 09:15 am Pulled a 1946 silver dime from a roll yesterday. It was one of the first coins in the first roll, so it really set my hopes ablaze for the other nine rolls. Alas, it was a lonely silver dime. Still have to look for varieties in the sorted coins, but I did already find a 1970-D Rev 1968 to accompany the 1970 Rev of 1968 that I found last week. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 02/07/2026 10:00 am Very cool finds Brand. I was not familiar with these until I saw them posted on this site a couple of years ago. More new knowledge.

pound_foolish Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 03/24/2026 8:06 pm After a rather inauspicious start to 2026, the last few weeks have seen a big improvement as silver dimes go. For the past 4 weeks I've averaged 4 silver dimes each week, with last week being the slowest. Luck visited today with my favorite teller giving me 6 CWR that she held since my last visit and 4 of them were loaded with silver to the tune of 43 Roosevelts and a pair of Mercs. 45 silver dimes added to the pile! Notably only one addition to our circulation-only album: a 1952 S. But there were several upgrades and a bunch of lively toners making me wonder if there's someone out there wondering who emptied their dime album for gas money. Report this Post to the Staff
