I was walking around my university's library and I always check the coin returns of vending machines for any loose change. I saw a dime in one of the coin returns, and when I picked it up I thought "No way!" as I saw the plain gray edge of a 1962-D Roosevelt.
You can't go wrong with free silver!

Quote: Oh wow ! That is awesome , congratulations Thanks! I went into work in a bad mood since it's Saturday and all. Now I'm glad I did! Quote: Mercs to boot. Nice haul I couldn't believe it. Every time I fished one out I kept seeing Mercs! Somebody obviously wasn't paying attention (or didn't care) when they deposited their dimes at their bank.

Was finally able to search another $60 in dimes and was rewarded with a filthy 1961-D.

Quote: Witch Rosevelts are 90% silver? All Roosevelt dimes minted between 1946 and 1964 are 90% silver.

I did not think it was possible, but when walking by the vending machines today, I found some change in the cups. Out of the total $2.50 face value in change, one coin was a 1957-D Roosevelt. Who would have thought that two free silver dimes would come up within a week of each other? Maybe I should start searching again...
