Found these old dime saver packets...with dimes in them! Garage sale buy. Couldn't fit all of them in pics but a few are filled with Barbers and early Roosevelt's. Any years or types I should keep an eye out for? Dimes aren't something I have paid a lot of attention to until now.

Nice!

One thing though.. I don't see any Barbers? Mostly they are Mercury dimes and Roosevelts.
Mercury dime good dates: 1916D, 1921, 1921D, 1942/1, 1942/1-D.

That's a home run! I remember my Grandma had some and she sold them in the silver rush in the 80's. She told me after she sold them! Awesome find!

Sorry for delay guys. I am mistaken on the multiple Barbers. It was one packet with all 1893 dates. As far as the Mercury's...get this about 50 1942's! quite a few 1945's some 1935's, a 1917, 1926, The Roosevelts make up the majority but it will be fun to go through the early dates and see if anything interesting pops up. In all, probably 200 dimes. Out of the 1942's, I will try to post good pictures of 3 coins that kind of raised an eyebrow. Again, sorry for delay.

Very nice. I bought a few of those (not at face though) and was able to salvage the saver cards. They are kind of neat and collectible in their own right. With care, you can remove the dimes without damaging the saver card.
