I thought I could streamline my sorting of dimes
before rolling them. I'm only looking for 1969s
I floated a magnet over the pile trying to eliminate
the steel plated ones but it sucked up dimes from the
1960s,70s and 80's. I'm a little confused.

Pure nickel is magnetic as well. Sorry, you will have to do it by hand.

Sort them first by obverse, the '68-'79 have a distinctive large portrait design. Hope you find the large date you're looking for, meanwhile keep buying lottery tickets.

The lottery hasn't paid off yet, and I know if I don't
check the dimes I'll always have that picking at me
in the back of my mind.

I've got a few rolls of previously searched 1954 nickels. Haven't looked at them in a few years. As long as I delay looking through them there's a possibility an NSF is there. It's much like having a lottery ticket with a draw date of my choosing,although with lower odds of winning.

I like the way you think DBM.
