So here's some highlights of what Ive been able to find sifting through coin at work. I really like the dime, the word "Liberty" is clearly visible as well, considering that was in circulation I am very impressed. Ive done some research, and I know its a no arrows dime, but have no idea as to the value   |

A Liberty Seated dime while CRH'ing or going through any change is an amazing find! Well done :)  If you can post a better close up picture of the Seated and Mercury obverses and reverses we can chime in with grades.

The Liberty Seated dime appears to be in quite nice condition (VF or higher). Close up pictures of both sides of the coin would help greatly. Finding a coin like this in circulation is almost unheard of. Congratulations & continued happy hunting! |

Sure, what would you recommend for getting a better close up picture? I only have a smart phone camera, but I'm willing to look into other options

There are quite a few here that are able to take good pictures with their smart phones. There is a photography sub-forum on CCF, so that might be a place to go for tips. Some of the newer iPhones take much better pictures than my 10 year old point and shoot digital camera. Sorry I'm not very good with photography ....

Where do you work? I've bought old US coins from owners of gas station that the neighborhood kids would come in with old US coinage, more than likely pilfered from grandparents drawers? I've also bought silver coins from bank employee's & laundry mat owners. |

Sadly, I'm not allowed to disclose the name of my work, but it is very similar to the nature of your first source for coin there thecoinguy1964. What's really great is when I get to travel between locations and there are goodies already stacked waiting for me to switch them out.
I'll work on getting some better quality pictures of these and some other finds I have yet to post, sorry for the delay all

The seated liberty is an amazing find! |

For clarification: dsfreeworld
The seated was not in a traditional roll, but in a large "Bank Bag" of coin given to my location. While sifting through the coin, I found the seated liberty. So... while it was not in a register "yet" I did save it from ending up there.
Silver dimes and the mercury were in the same boat, its a painful process to check each dime, but I find a decent amount of silver

Wow! I want to work where you work. Lol. I thought 3 silver rosies and a silver 1950s Canadian dime and a silver Washington quarter was an incredible month at worth...you hardcore blew me outta the water. |

Every week at work these guys come in and dump bags full of dimes, nickels and quarters into our vending machines. I'd kill to have a look through some of those bags...
