Dime Roll Searching

So last Friday, I went to one of my usual branches and happened upon a lone roll of nickels in old-style wrapping all dated 1964 and before. Said group had 16 pre-60s, but no special dates. The roll was amongst a group of 10 rolls given to the teller who was helping me by another teller to complete my buy of $50 in nickels. Curious if the other teller had other old rolls, I finally made it back there after work today. In addition to 16 more similarly marked nickel rolls (see this post in the nickel thread: https://goccf.com/t/24785&whichpage=889#4522403), there was a lone dime roll amongst the 50 CWR she had which looked interesting:



The roll felt heavy to me, so I put it with the 16 old-style wrapped nickel rolls. When I got to my car, I opened it... lo and behold!!!


The same branch where I famously found a nine silver dime roll hoard five years ago produces again! Other than a 1946 Philly, four 1964 Philly coins, and single S-mint examples from 1951, 1952, and 1953, every coin was from Denver, including 27 of the ubiquitous 1964 issues.

Thanks, Errers... definitely a dump - likely a hoard of coins that was just sitting there for 61 years - there were three Uncirculated 1965-dated nickels in that group (every other nickel was dated from 1939-1964). My guess is a family member rounded these up and turned them in after the owner likely passed on... I have no idea if the teller at one time had other rolls (cents, quarters, other dime and/or nickel rolls) which may have been part of what was recently turned in... I'm just VERY happy to stumble upon this particular roll!

Outstanding!

Thanks, all!

And, yes, persistence pays off for sure. I've lost track of how many times I've been rewarded like this. I haven't checked the silver price today, but I know the spot value of said roll was a shade under $250 yesterday!

Nice finds.

After I opened one of the customer-wrapped dime rolls I acquired this morning at a local bank, I was excited to see a large number of coins with silvery edges lined up at one end of the roll. But when I
examined their reeding more carefully, I realized they were Canadian dimes (plus two foreign coins). I commonly will find a Canadian coin in a dime roll -- but the number of them in this roll (12) was outrageous.

My attitude changed when I examined each coin. I found an 80% silver 1957 dime and an 80% silver 1968 dime. After I replaced each foreign coin with a US dime (as I always do), I was happier than I had been when I first recognized their origin.

Nice haul!

Excellent!
