Picked up $10 in Nickels & $15 in Dimes, all CWR, from my bank. Found a 1940 Nickel, a USA and 21 99.9 Ni Nickels. Didn't expect to find much in the Dimes but I did find a 1954 Silver Dime.
1 Silver out of 3 rolls! I like that hit rate

I found these two while going through a hundred dollars worth of dimes. A nice find for a first time roll searching for silver dimes.

Found a 1942-D Mercury dime this week however it wasnt from searching rolls, I work in a used sporting goods store and an older lady brought it a bunch of old golf clubs. After we bought them I was inspecting them and saw something shiny on the top of one of the clubs, to my surprise it was a Mercury dime most likely used as a ball marker guess it was my lucky day!

This is my first time posting in this forum, typically I hunt nickels and pennies because they're affordable and fun, and on occasion half dollars, but after today I think I'm gonna devote my silver searching to dimes. I was working in the drive through at my local Panera and opened a dime roll (the edge checking way if you could call it that, as opposed to just cracking it open on the counter) quickly scanned over it and noticed the unmistakable white/silver edge, a 1960 D in about avg. circulation (yes I know that is not a grade) nothing worth taking a photo of but I paid 10 cents for something worth 13 times that. Hopefully I'll get lucky with my first box or CWR lot, btw this was a MWR.

Saturday when grocery shopping I went to my little peoples United bank inside the store. I always clean them out of customer rolls. I got $25 in dimes....surprisingly I found 8 silver Roosevelts in just those 5 rolls. I thanked my bank teller who knows I am a collector and he said he'd tell the other tellers to sell the federal wrapped coin and to save me all the customer rolls. It works for me as I am usually at the grocery store several times a week for random stuff so it works out.

I decided to get another 50 bucks worth of dimes at my local bank. I found two more silver Roosevelt dimes. One dimes is 51 and the other one is 1963.

Wait a second, for you Canadians, you make money by finding USA dimes. For us Americans, we lose money by finding Canadian dimes!

Searched through another 10,000 dimes and only found 1 silver. 20,000 dimes in 2 weeks and 2 silver dimes = Not worth the time. Not searching bags anymore I had better luck in boxes.

Searched another box of dimes today. Found another 35 USA dimes, same as the last box, weird
I also found 2 UK 5 pence and a Barbados 10 cent.
Not as good on the silvers as the last box, but I did find a silver. A 196?, it's pretty beat up and the last digit of the date is pretty much destroyed, even under 60x magnification I can't make it out. Therefore, it's either a 1965, 1966 or 1968. It can't be 1964 or earlier because it's the tiara portrait of the queen, and it's not a 1967 because it has the sailboat (Bluenose) on it rather than the special design (Mackerel) for the commemoration of Canada's Centennial. It matters because in 1968, dimes and quarters were made of 50% silver, whereas previous to 1967 they were made of 80% silver. So I guess I'll play it conservatively and count it as a 1968 50% silver.
Well better than nothing!
