Thanks everyone, I was surprised myself. Same bank gave up my first Merc last week as well. I don't think it is an S and I don't think it has a mint mark.

Went to go pick up pennies, they didn't have any so I grabbed a box of dimes.
Can't say I enjoyed it as I got skunked except for one 2009-P.
Nothing weird.
May come back to dimes later but this first box didn't leave me excited for another one.

My finds for today. These came from 3 boxes and interestingly the 2 Mercury dimes also had a silver Roosevelt in the same roll. I was surprised to find the damaged '59 in a roll because it is all bent out of shape. I wouldn't have thought it could have made it through the rolling machine.   |

Excellent haul Bay! Yes, some of those machines will pass anything, I found a slightly bent 1900 Canadian dime once.

Alright, I just picked up $1000 in CWR from my a branch of my LCU. So far, searched $150 with no luck but I am seeing some good diversity in the date range. Also noticed they came from quite a few different customers.
Praying these turn some silver.

Results of my $1,000 CWR Search
Okay, I find it haunting that my average find is 1 silver for every $250 CWR I search. Held true
again. Here are my finds:
1 x 1946 Roosevelt
1 x 1947 Roosevelt
1 x 1950 Roosevelt
1 x 1960 Roosevelt
Looks like they are all Philadelphia strikes and that all have normal wear. Hey,
the good news is the same branch told me they have $1000 in CWR quarters. I will probably run through them next.
Personally, I think quarters probably produce the least with dimes producing the most followed by halves.
More later.
Happy Hunting everyone.

Kids are still on winter break and I'm home so we picked up about 12 hundred worth of change between 2 banks and a CU (3 String dime boxes, $300 quarters, $60 nickels, and $5 in loose halves). Keepers:  Also, while dumping $10 in LMC's, I reached down into the reject cup and scored over $10 in Canadian quarters, dimes, and nickels...not bad.

Forgot to mention the three Canadian dimes, or so, I also ran across. None were silver.

926, That is awesome my friend. I can't imagine finding a seated liberty. That coin deserves it's own thread for all to see. Some interested parties will miss it buried in the dime thread.
