I bought this this dime roll box last year, with hopes of filling it last year ... I did not make it. I thought I would post a update, plus it helps me keep track of my progress .. Not sure if any others are doing these? With silver getting lower .. it might be a something to consider. As of now I am 80 coins from completion. 10 rolls of Mercury dimes37 rolls of Roosevelt's (27 of them BU/proof) 20 dimes in a mixed tube 1 roll of silver Canadian.  Edit - 2420 silver dimes Edited by GR58

Wow! That's a lot of silver right there! You're so close, 87 dimes should be a piece of cake! That's a nice, clean storage method you have there.
I have some 90% dimes, but not nearly that many and I'm not stacking 90% at the moment... I've found that with the price of silver so low, currently there are better values out there for silver stacking.

I do try and buy a few ounces each week. Mostly Morgan's
or 1oz world coins.
But I did start this box .. and will be happy to finish
it.
I do have a 10 roll quarter and a 25 roll half dollar
box ... but I am not as far along on those.
It will be nice if silver stays at these prices .. or
goes lower .. makes it possible to put a lot more silver
away.

The 90% is nice to have stashed away, but lately I have been buying 10oz bars. $150ish/bar shipped is hard to pass up.

It is a fun box to do, I was thinking others might be doing one. There is some interesting observations. The roll of Canadian silver dimes was the shortest. A roll of Mercury dimes, not slick but worn are the next shortest. Shortest Mercury roll weighs 121.5 grams tallest Mercury 124.1 grams I could put 2 or 3 more dimes on top shortest, to fill that roll. Most of the BU rolls I have come across are 1964, or early 60's. I did have a roll of Barber dimes, but purchased a Dansco and put them in that. I often wonder if when I get older, it might be nice to get a treasure chest ... And fill it with silver coins. Maybe a medium size box. Before I die ... bury in the ground somewhere ... And leave a map with my will. Edited by GR58

I have a nice spot available in my backyard if you are looking for a safe place. |
