Two More Silver Dimes

The silver Kennedy half dollar drought continues -- but recently I've had more luck finding silver dimes. Earlier this week I found an AU 1957 Roosevelt dime in one roll. Today I found a 1944-D Mercury Head dime in a Loomis roll, which is the first one I have found in >1 year. Unfortunately, I'm missing the 1945-D dime in my collection.

I've noticed that the Loomis rolls I acquire from local banks typically have the same mix of circulated dimes as do customer-wrapped rolls. So I think I have an equally good chance of finding silver dimes in Loomis rolls. Of course, only a customer-wrapped roll might contain 50 silver dimes that originally saved by a coin collector that someone else naively cashes at a bank. I once acquired three rolls of silver dimes at a local bank -- but I don't expect that to happen again soon.
