Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:38 pm Tonight I was searching through some rolls of dimes. This was really the first time I seriously hunted dime rolls. I went and got $50 in CWR of dimes along with some penny and nickel rolls. In the second roll, I looked at the edge and saw a silver edge. I figured it would be a Canadian. However, after I looked it was a 1964 D. I thought it was odd to find my first silver dime after only searching 5 rolls. How long did it take you guys to find your first silver? Report this Post to the Staff

j-win Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 7:48 pm Great find, and especially only after 5 rolls! I too found my first silver dime from a roll this week, a 1962 D. I had probably searched around $100 worth of dimes to find it so I was pretty excited when I saw it. Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 8:14 pm Congrats j-win on your first silver too. As excited as I got after finding my one silver, I can't imagine how excited I would be to find 27 keepers. After finding the first silver it was kind of hard to stop. I only expected to open one roll tonight, however, I ended up opening half of them. Report this Post to the Staff

Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 8:46 pm Wow Trent C, that's pretty impressive to find your first silver in your first roll. Congrats everyone who recently found your first silver too. Is there anything else I should be keeping besides silver? I normally keep 1965-1970 also. Report this Post to the Staff

Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 2:01 pm Well, I know it sounds strange to keep clad dimes, but I got into a habit a while back of keeping anything pre 70. I throw them in with my ebay auctions sometimes and try to make solid rolls of one date. Is there anything else that you guys keep that I should out of dime rolls besides silver?

I've found and kept clipped dimes, chrome, silver, and gold plated dimes, and several S proof cameo clads that are frosty and just beautiful. As a teen roll hunter in 1980, I don't recall finding silver dimes at all, and we threw back the 40% silver halves even while silver was running up. I've found hundreds of silver dimes in the last couple years though. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
