I love coin dumps--collections, accumulations, etc. I stumbled into a Wheat cent dump several years ago--seven or eight customer wrapped rolls from a bank. Solid wheats, many in XF through mid AU condition. |

Excellent find, John77. Persistence pays off - to the tune of 40x face value, at least at my LCS's current pricing.

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!

I never go through dimes but I have a few books from a decade ago that needed the more recent years filled. I picked up a little over $50 worth and was able to fill quite a few holes. Still missing a few modern ones and didn't come across a single 2026! However a 51-p Roosevelt was a nice prize from the hunt! I also found 2 x 2009-p.

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.  |

While I had spectacular Dimes finds in July (1996-W) and August (full roll of silvers), September was quite an uneventful month for me in the Dimes department. 13,900 searched and a grand total of four silvers found (1956, 1959, 1960-D, 1963-D). always nice to add to the stack, but my September Dime silver find rate (1 per 3,475) was barely better than in Quarters (1 per 4,296) lol. An aberration which will likely correct this month.   CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
