srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 4:37 pm Yinzi50: WOW! You must do a LOT of hunting! I find a few a year but I just go through my cash registers at my store, not doing any CRH. Found several Roosevelt's in nice shape recently and "stole" 2 from my bank teller today.....I think she was saving them for herself by her reaction when I asked if I could buy them!

Franklin Collector Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 5:27 pm I found one a while back I also have found exactly one silver Roosevelt dime. At a ratio of one to one I think I'm pretty lucky (Correction I have found 2 Roosevelt dimes but I sold one.) Edited by Franklin Collector 07/07/2014 6:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

LeoS Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 11:17 pm 4 mercuries. One in a Coinstar reject tray, other 3 from CWRs, maybe $500 total. I usually get $150 CWRs at a time. About 80% of the time find at least a rosie. Report this Post to the Staff
DCM Coins Valued Member United States 446 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 11:56 pm I've only done one box of dimes, and in the very first roll I cracked open there was a 1945D Merc. Later on, a 1946 Rosie. No Mercs ever in my change, though once in a great while I'll score a silver Rosie. Edited by DCM Coins 08/14/2014 11:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
