I do the same method as BernieZ. Easy to just bend the roll.
And I got a box today. I have a good feeling about it since my last 3 had nothing.
Edit: So far the good feeling was right. Just opened the box and found a silver ender.

I am desperate to find a bank in my area that has String & Sons rolls instead of Brinks, every bank I have called uses Brinks and from my experience I have had no luck finding silver dimes in Brinks boxes.

I don't think I've ever had a brinks box. Do they say brinks on them? I usually get either the nf string paper rolls, or the clear plastic rolls, but the box doesn't say brinks. I think they come from loomis.

If they are rolls in the clear plastic they are Brinks rolls.

Nice finds Murrellingotn! Thats a fantastic box!. Bbradford: I only have strings and sons here in Maryland. I think you said your from Texas, so I'm guessing Brinks has a monopoly in that area. Maybe try some smaller banks? Though they may require an account. Now I have to go wrap all 2500 dimes because the coin counter at my new dump bank broke...I may have filled it up last time lol.

My new best, 5 silver: 1946d, 1959d, 1962d, 1963d, and 1964d.
Also one 2009d and one 2009p.

Okay, I keep seeing seeing the 2009d and 2009p listed here as finds.
May I ask what makes them worth collecting? Were they from a low volume production year, limited to only proof sets, or what?

You guessed it - just lower numbers made that year. about 50 and 90 million, respectively, if memory serves. Not super-low, but much lower than other recent years. Same thing happened with the nickel too.

I did 2 boxes last night, scored a 1942 mercury, one beat up real bad 62, the second box scored a 59 and 64. I'm up to 5 silvers, out of 3 boxes, just wish the wrappers were the clear....lol....

went by a few banks today and picked up $200 in CWR's and $100 in String & Sons rolls. I found two silver dimes in the CWR's a 1963D & a 1964D, nothing found in the String & Sons rolls. I spoke with the tellers at each bank who know me and they all agreed to save all CWR's for me to pick up once a week. I plan on buying some gift cards to give to each just to show my thanks and appreciation.

Ok I am new to collecting coins, but am very interested in finds. As far as the bank goes, should I just go in and ask if they have any rolls that have been turned in that I can buy or do I just ask to buy rolls? Do I specify hand rolled?
Thanks, sorry for the ignorance.

Fayette, In the event that you have not been formally welcomed to CCF,  . In terms of specifying rolls from the banks I would just ask for as many rolls of as many different types packaged rolls as they have. I personally have been equally lucky finding both silver dimes in hand rolled as well as machine rolled dimes. It's great to have you on board as an important family member of CCF. The prestige and professionalism of CCF is unparalleled compared to other similar web sites attempting to imitate this format. mdpmedia
