Well they were all common dates and I got .03 for them. Plus I was buying silver coins that day and he threw in two extra silver dimes.

Well I tried my first box of dimes today and what a bust :-(
The teller (sweet girl) told me they had a box of dimes but guess someone else grabbed it while she was not looking so she scrambled around and found $250 worth of dimes and got them for me. All but 3 were customer rolls and they had a nice black strip on them. (my guess a drop for another coin roll hunter). Nothing in the box :-( I guess I will just order next time and pick up a fresh box.

Ouch, yes, it appears you got someone's dump. No problem. Dust off and try again.  |

Well try number 2 on the dimes and this time it was a nice sealed box. Nothing along the lines of silver...

Nothing along the lines of silver... But? Usually a "but" follows a sentence like that. As in, "Nothing along the lines of silver... but I found several proofs!"  |

You know something funny happened to me today. I went and picked up a boz of dimes and in the box were CW dimes and when I got home...half the box were coins that I had searched and marked! Yikes! I think 22 out of 50 were ones I had searched. The good news was out of the remaining, I got 1 silver out of. Thought this was weird because I have 3 pick up banks near my home and 3 dump banks across town! Haha...at least they werent all mine! CHEERS!

No but's sorry...
I dumped all he dimes on this side of town and picked up on the other side. But what I have mostly been doing is dumping in the coinstar for gift certificates where I shop at. Or... I will take a few rolls every other day into the bank inside the store. Just wish they would give out gift certificates to my grocery store! Then I would be set :-)

I'm working on my 72 box of pennies. So far I'm averaging 24% copper and have found over 950 Wheat back coins. When I finish my next box I'll have to go out and get a few boxes to look at. I've also found quite a few "S" mintmarks after getting off to a truly dismal start.

I know what it is to be broke, so that is why I buy the pennies, but really, they are a lot of fun to search. Every now and then when I can, I buy as many half dollars as I can. I will drain my bank account to buy a box if my husband has just gotten paid. I figure out of $500, at least $480 or more will go back, and if I got more than $20 in clads, I will put them aside so we can go turn them in. Sometimes it comes in handy. A year or so ago, I was able to turn in my silver and make my van payment! That was extremely lucky, and I have not been that lucky since, but I have been saving my clads since that time, and before the end of the summer, if need be (which is almost a certainty) I will turn them in again.
So, AWESOME first score! I have been doing this for a while, it is addicting, fun, educational, and I just like it.
