I got home from work tonight and my wife had a great surprise for me. She works retail and one of the other cashiers opened a roll of dimes and did not know what they were. My wife bought them and went through the rest of the rolls and ended up with the following. 64 Mercury dimes. 9 Silver Roosevelt dimes. The rolls were from the bank, but they were customer wrapped rolls. I Love My Wife!!

As well you should!  I found a silver quarter a few years ago counting down a till and I think that's what started my full-on collectorship! Please give her a big high-five for me!  Edit: You're now officially obligated to present the best Mercury dime of the lot.

The funny thing is, after she was finished telling me the story the next words out of her mouth were "I wonder if there is a 1916D in there?" No such luck, they were all from the 1940's. The second photo is of the normal stuff that she brings home and I have not looked through yet.

Your wife knows about the 16-D... that tells us all we need to know. Congrats!

I just sold about the same amount of Liberty and Roosevelt dimes yesterday for $2 each...$2 each would make a great profit for you, congrats!
