Quote: Witch Rosevelts are 90% silver? Don't forget, 1992 to present S proof Roosevelts are also 90% silver, and also clad. It's possible to find both in circ.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72

Quote: Afterimage Great finds! Were there any silver end coins? No, none of the dimes were enders. These were all wrapped in clear, shrink wrapped rolls. Some were in the middle, some were close to the end. I could see the silver as they are solid compared to their clad counterparts. I was expecting Roosevelts and was pleasantly surprised when Merc after Merc kept coming out. I went through them a second time and found the 1937. It's the dirty one in the middle, second one down from the top. The edge on that one tricked me. It was so dirty that I mistook it for a clad dime.

Good thing you found that last one! I have found more than a couple silver dimes that I missed at first by the sound that they make.

another box of dimes = another skunk. I have gone over 800$ worth in boxes and rolls and not found a single silver. The worst I have ever done was 1 in a $1,000 bag. I am just unlucky the past few days with dimes. i'll plow through it.

CoinCbass- that sure is unusual. It has been a long time since I had more than 1 skunk box, and I think my longest streak was 3 in a row with no silver.
My last 2 boxes gave me a silver rosie and an 80% silver canadian in one, and a heavily toned 1961D in the other.

i know. I was shocked. I usually do bags, but all I could get my hands on were boxes. 3 in a row plus 50$ or more in loose rolls = skunk
but I am back on the horse - 1 found 2 62 roosies in a bag. not very good, but better than a skunk.

Found these bottom 3 coins in my last bag of dimes. Hopefully finding filed down pennies wont become a trend.

Did $60 more in rolls and got a 1964, and a 1948, which was a hole filler

Baysinger .. I wouldn't be complaining about the penny given what else you found!

Oh yeah, no complaints if I find silver.. However... when I dumped this batch the coin machine shorted me $15.06 on the first $130 I pourded in, so I took the rest to a different machine. BARF.
