yeah, I've found a few, along with a lot of gem/uncirculated 2009-2012, too bad I'm not a gem collector trying to fill an album for the years on them

i found my first error, This roosie appears to be within acceptable tolerances with no addl. premium. I would guesstimate the punch is only about 5% max off center. Please note the off center %s to be looking out for within the attached jpg. Just in case the attached .jpg is not clear or too small one can go to the following URL for these prices: http://www.bestcoin.com/us-mint-err...n-prices.htmmdpmedia  |

how is a double struck obverse created? I do not think this article completely addresses your question but the following is a related excerpt from, CoinWorld: 'Doubled dies: If, during the hubbing and die making process, a misalignment between hub and partially completed die occurs, overlapping, multiple images may appear on the die, creating a die variety. Coins struck from the die will show the overlapping images, like the doubled date, IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY on the 1955 Lincoln, Doubled Die Obverse cent. Die doubling, on coins with raised designs, features a rounded second image; on incused designs, the second image is flat and shelflike. At the corners of the overlapping images are distinct "notches" on coins with raised designs. A tripled or quadrupled die is caused by the same misalignment, but bears a tripled or quadrupled image. Major U.S. doubled dies are considered impossible since 1996 to 1997 due to technological improvements at the Mint, but minor examples continue to appear. Traditional doubled dies can only occur when more than one impression of hub into die is required, and the alignment between hub and die shifts or distorts between hubbing operations. Some specialists suspect these occur when a hub and die blank are tilted in relation to each other at the start of the hubbing operation. Doubled die varieties can sell for a few dollars or many thousands of dollars each, based on rarity, degree of doubling and overall popularity of the specific variety.' I have also attached a helpful side-by-side Morgan $ 1 shot comparing machine vs. hub doubling which clearly demonstrates the 'notching' produced within hub doubling.  |

agent,
I can completely relate to your feelings after having spent multiple hours and turning up zippo, zero, or nada.
Try to keep things in perspective being that errors and varieties are infrequent occurences and

I wouldnt get discouraged until you have been through about $750 in dimes. I sometimes get 2 or 3 boxes in a row with nothing.

Hello,
As I was typing I pushed the send button too quickly: oops.
Anyhow, when one is searching attempt to concentrate on rolls that were filled by humans: not machines. Not every human is a coin collector so one increases his/her odds of finding a rare one when doing it this way.
Banks, on the other hand, tend to machine roll newer or nearly uncirculated later date coins.
And from the recent article I posted it reiterates that later date varieties and errors are much less common as a result of improvements in machine minting technology.
I currently have dozens of unsearched rolls that I keep on hand but only search them if I have plenty of spare time.
My level of frustration resulting from 0 finds is more tolerable if I perceive that I have not wasted my time and missed another important obligation as a result of fruitless coin roll searching.
And lastly it seems to always be a good idea to take a prolonged break (a week or two...) so as not to burn oneself completely out from coin roll searching all together.

$250 for a box.
if you get clear wrapped plastic rolls, makes searching for silver EASY..
like others have said, averages change, I myself have been doing dimes for almost 3 years and average about 1 silver dime for every $100 searched. I think the key is, is possible, to find as much customer rolled as possible. ups your chances and cuts down on driving time.
im not too worried about finding someones "dump" most people search for halves and in my experience have never searched someones dump...

based on my current success, maybe you should try quarters instead of dimes  |

Do you guys just dump coins or do you re-wrap. I wrap all coins and am scrupulous about not shorting the bank.
So far I haven't had any problems dumping as I just make deposits to my DDA.
I try to avoid getting hand wrapped rolls since they're so often short-counted. Sometimes, if they look old, I'll take them.

im about to try quarters next week then, ill make sure to ask for customer rolled coins, how do you choose the older looking ones? in my experience they just take your cash and give you the rolls, I doubt theyll let me go behind the counter and look and pick out the rolls I want to take
