so I searched a box of dimes today which have become my favorite. I search the faces of every coin because I find a lot of proofs. Well it paid off today. I was very pleased to pull a 1996 W, which I almost passed by. The shine made me look twice I almost missed it because the "W" wasn't as easy to see as an "S" is. Anyways I posted these picks in the dime roll searching thread but I figured it was a cool, different and once in a lifetime find so I would post it in its own thread.  Here are the 2 silvers I found in the same box as well. Click the pictures for larger pics the scans arent the best but its all I can do right now. 96 W obverse 52 reverse, 64 obverse  96 W reverse, 52 obverse, 64 reverse  |

You can get the dime by itself in the mint cello for about $12 to $15. Paid $10 plus $2 shipping for mine in the mint cello. I have a slabbed ms66 one that I paid $23.80 for with $1.58 shipping.

Wow that is so cool, I guess I might have to venture in to some dime searching. I have been doing pretty good with nickels but I might give them a try!

glad everyone likes it, too bad I can't get better pictures. My girlfriend is the one who works the camera and she is helping her grandma with her broken leg now for the past 2 weeks. She might come home today so I'll try and get pictures with better quality
I find many proof dimes, I think I have about 15 different dates including 2 silver proofs in pretty decent shape, but this one tops the cake.
I never thought I would find one from a box.
keep looking, good stuff is always gonna be out there
