Sounds like you guys are finding some great stuff searching dimes. I typically just search pennies and nickels, but I may have to give the dimes a try.

did my first box of dimes the other day and walked with 3 silvers. thought i'd try another box today and I got skunked. gosh that is an awful feeling. I guess I better get used to it if I am going to search silver...

Searched ten N F and String sons rolls from TD Bank and found a 2001P with no reeding on the edge. There is very little if any at all wear on the dime, so I know this was a genuine error. Also, no "ghost" reeds on the edge that signifies a weak strike. Definitely an error.
Anyone know are these worth anything?

Quote: Also some posters that seem to "find" mountains of silver on a consistent basis- lets just say I wonder about those posts... It would only take one or two searchers to check all the coins in a typical bank. From that point on, coins in that geographic area will yield just about zero.

Quote:I have a 1975 Dime with no mint mark on it. Also a 1970 and a few other years. I've read that the 1975 and 1970 with no mint mark are fairly hard to find and am just now getting interested in coins and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge they could share with a newbie...thanks a bunch. You've heard "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing?" Congratulations, you learned just enuf to be dangerous. The P mintmark was used starting in 1980, so 1975 and 1970 with no mm is normal. The "just enough knowledge" part comes in at two places. Some 1982 dimes didn't get the P mm, and are valuable. Some 1968 and 1970 PROOF dimes, which should have all had the S mm also are missing the mm. The catch is, they must be mirror surfaced proofs, not just circulation strike issues.

congrats on the halfway point of your album Ricardocody I too am only using circulated found dimes from rolls to make my album It gets harder from here on out there are 48 silver roosies I have 31/48 17 more to go but I haven't had a hole filler in about 5 boxes upgrades a few times, but thats about it some of the darker toning I have found is really neat too I like the way the back looks like a shadow on some of the coins

I've got 22/48 from roll searching so I'm almost halfway there.

My daughter found this dime in a roll that my mom gave her. It is worn like a discus. My daughter loves the dime. If anybody knows how this happened I would love to know. Sorry for the bright picture but my restroom counter top has the best light. Ha!

some people have said coins get caught in washing machines or something and get rounded out like this I have one like it as well and believe that is what people told me happened to it. they are so smooth and cool

Thanks so much for the reply. I believe what you said. It is very shiny and smooth, sharp too. I feel like chucking in a handful of coins and see if I can replicate it.
