The Dime Search Begins

OK, I finished looking through the 2500 dimes and looked at each and every coin on both sides to see if I could if nothing else, find a cool error. I found no silvers, no 2009 and no foreign coins.

I found one interesting coin that has a large lump of metal just under the bust about 1/4" x 1/8" shaped like a calzone. My wife referred to it as a goiter. As soon as I can get my scanner working I will post it to find out what the heck caused something like that. It was a very disappointing search. I doubt that I will put myself through the dime search again. I am impressed by those that have had success and wish I had just a little myself.

Oh well, back to pennies and nickels for now.

I think I'd find almost all the modern coins boring if I weren't collecting them. Just going through looking for silver and the like would bore me. There's lots of great stuff in the dimes and they stand out here more than the other denominations just because there is such a sameness to most of the dimes. You can find most of the older dates in XF still and some in AU. There aren't as many varieties but they're easier to search since few dates are affected. My favorites are the '69-D/ D and the '68 DDO.
