All but two look to be about near-MS if not UNC.
I'm super excited to add these to my collection. I just found them in the register at work and exchanged them for a few bills with my boss. I feel so lucky working at a cash-only place. Typically, I'll find a Kennedy here and there, but this many silver dimes is pretty cool!
What are your favorite work finds?

And I know how it must have happened.
I had tubes with BU dimes from 1946 to 1960.
When my daughter was a pre-teenager she stole many and used them to buy stuff for herself. She did not know they were not just dimes.

 to CCF. I don't find much money on the job I do (construction) But I was part of a remodel of an old jewelry store. - after the old owner was long gone, I examined the area where the counter used to be and found a few small diamonds.. |

Excellent! It has been around 35 years since I worked retail and had access to a cash register. I know I filled many holes in my albums back then. |

Been many years since I've received any silver dimes or quarters in change!

20 to be exact. Not much, but something! 20 is, indeed, a bunch! It is also 20 more than I have found in the past, well, long time.  |

20 silver dimes = $2.00 face, or lets see if I can do math this early..  a silver dime weighs 2.5 grams Silver is selling for 27.46 per ounce 2.5 grams = 0.08 ounce so 20 dimes x 0.08 oz = 1.6 ounces of silver So, 1.6 x 27.46 (spot) = $29.06 Not a bad haul for a 'bunch' of dimes. |
