deathwaterkeg2 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 12:52 am I found two silver 1964's and some other oddities, including a 1990 5 pence, badly mixed alloy and a I don't know how that happened. The next one is painted yellow on the reverse, and the pictures don't do it justice, it really looks much better in person I hear the 1990 5 pence is special, but I don't know why exactly. Up next is the bad alloy mix, and personally I never seen one on a clad coin like this, it's one of my more favorites. and finally the "what happened to this coin" segment and I would appreciate help in finding out why it's like this. (and note it doesn't have a rotated die, it's just a lazy picture) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 02:41 am Cool coins, I like the 1996 woody. As for the 2004, if this was a 2005 then I would say it was a satin finish from a mint set. This one looks like a kid had his/her chemistry set from Christmas and decided to "experiment" on a dime.

(These did come in silver in government mint sets though, -so you might check details for that) Report this Post to the Staff

JonNickelCollector Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 09:37 am Two silvers after 7 1/2 boxes. That's why I gave up on dimes after finding one silver in three boxes. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 3:52 pm Uh, that's three boxes, not 7 1/2. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 9:33 pm The key with successful dime hunting is volume searching. For the many years I've searched dimes, my average remains one silver per $150 in rolls. About $100,000 total searched. Good luck, and keep on 'truckin, dwk2.
