Catalyst1221 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 5:26 pm Picked up my first $250 dime box today from the bank. When I sat down in my car I peaked into the box and saw all shiny coins laying atop. I went through one roll and they are all 2011 P uncirculated. Of course it is entirely up to me to hunt them, however it would make me more decisive to know if any of you have ever found any nice errors, proof, silver, ... anything out of the ordinary dimes in a box that appears to be all uncirculated. Those of you who have searched an unc box, is it worth the time to look through them, or would you suggest taking them to my drop bank for another day to dime hunt? Thanks, -Adam Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 6:08 pm I would bet that you have 100% BU 2011 P Roosevelt dimes. If it were me, knowing that the value is 10 cents each, I would take them back and get my $250.00, perhaps you can use the money for a mixed date box at a different bank? I suppose there are some superb uncirculated dimes in there, maybe a clipped coin, but these dimes are common as can be and the odds are slim. You will not find any proof or silver coins in there, I would bet on that, there is no reason for that to happen since these are surely all the same date from the mint. Anyway, I don't know much about any varieties to look for in that year and mint. Maybe somebody else would think it is a great opportunity to find something I don't know about.

And I would, but then that's my idea of fun. The odds aren't great but I get ridiculously happy when I find a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
