First five months of this year had been fairly successful in terms of pulling silver dimes - 28 pulled including 2 Mercuries... the last of those was a 1962 Philly pulled on May 28th. Not surprisingly, all but three of those silvers were from CWR. Then came June... while I was pulling amazing stuff in Nickels and Quarters (and also a small cent hoard which I will post about later), the Dimes were not showing up at all... not a single silver pulled this month!  So what happens in July? First bank I hit on Thursday (July 2nd) gives me 10 rolls of CWR and in one of the rolls - one weighing 114.40 grams - these two coins are placed right next to each other!  Silver dime drought officially over!   CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Thanks again, Errers and jbuck... Well, Dimes continue their amazing July run for me. After a skunk batch of 10 MWR on Monday, Wednesday's similar purchase yielded two amazing keepers: a really nice clip on a 1966, and, most shockingly, a 1996-W!!!    Needless to say, this is my first 1996-W found in the wild. It also happens to be the most valuable dime I've ever found doing this, so a DOUBLE milestone coin!

Thanks, igwt79, TomM, and Errers and Varietys!
If a clad coin is brand new looking and it's P-mint and 15 or more years old, or from the 1900s (regardless of mint), I tend to save them.. I saw the 1996 date first and noticed how nice the coin was... couldn't believe it when I removed the coin blocking my view and saw the mint mark... my exact words were "NO WAY!!!" when I saw the W. Got that one in a 2x2 real quick! The clip earned a 2x2 too...
