This is a bit off topic since it isn't roll searching but,anyway,my daughter works at McDonalds and she called me this evening and said she found a "weird" dime and wanted to know if I wanted it. When I asked her to describe it she says"It's a 1944 and"and I just said,yes,I want it. She said don't you want any more description? I just said nope,I'll take it off your hands. She said,sometimes you are so weird! I just laughed and said,yep!

Teller kept a silver dime she found for me -- 1958. Said she's going to start looking for more for me. I told her what it was worth and tried to give it back, and she said she wouldn't know what to do with it and was happy to help me out  |

Silver Roosevelt,
You are correct, Canada did make 50% silver until 1968 but transitioned to steel that year also!
2.07 grams for the steel
2.33 grams for the silver
I had no idea until I read this thread!
P.S. the 1969 Lg date Canadian dime is was your after $$$$$$$$

Mattyj - nice pickup. 5 from a box is really good. I also usually get 1 at most.

I did a box of Brinks today and got skunked. I seem to have much better luck with the N.F. String boxes around me. Also, I have yet to find a Canadian dime or a Mercury dime. I guess I'd better up the ante! I'm using my Christmas money for dime boxes now so I have some capital to work with! |

I think I am retiring from dime roll searching after today. I've gone through $2000 in String and Son dime boxes and not ONE single silver dime or even an "S" mint mark. Halves and pennies are FAR more fun in my humble opinion.

I bought $20 worth of dime rolls today and all were bright shiny 2010 P rolls.
I know that there are roll collectors that would have liked these but I was discouraged since
I was looking for older dimes. I guess I will try a different bank tomorrow. Also, I searched a $100 worth of quarters,
it was fruitless. Is quarter roll hunting a huge waste of time these days?

I once searched through a total of $290 in CWR and found two silvers: 1934 and 1951. Another hunt, after $410 or so in CWR yielded a single 1964. Edited by SilverRoosevelt

I would take those odds on the quarters SilverRoosevelt. I get about 2 dimes per box of dimes. I have done some $500 boxes of quarters and nothing. If I would get one quarter per box I would do it.
