SilverRoosevelt Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 6:53 pm It would be at least $1,000 to buy the bag, which, personally, is too much money for me to spend on coin searching. Report this Post to the Staff
TenSense Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 12:32 pm Here's some psychological torture: what if it was a key-date Mercury? What if you just let $5000+ walk away ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 5:26 pm I usually drop a little over a grand at the bank in coin so I would've bought the bag. But think of it this way what if the coin is just a common date merc and the bag is short 5 bucks could have been better off walking from that bag Report this Post to the Staff

sich0015 Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 7:03 pm This was my week of dime roll searching. I went through 9 boxes and 20 loose rolls. 3 boxes were String and Son and the rest were Brinks boxes. The total haul was 16 Roosies and a 1953 Canadian. The variety of years makes me want to try to complete the Roosevelt set from circulation. I got a good start with at least one of each: 1946, 1951s, 1954, 1954d, 1956d, 1957, 1962, 1962d, 1964, and 1964d. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverRoosevelt Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:13 pm An update on the Merc situation; I went to the same bank to dump some nickels I searched through and the tellers said that since I pointed that Merc out to them last time, they went through the entire bag for me! I gave them two nickels to buy the dime and it turns out it was a 1940. This is the first Mercury dime I've found in the wild since 2003 (when I found one on my middle school's cafeteria floor, in ketchup). I was more astonished to find that they looked up the statistics of the coin, such as the melt value, and learned that the key date to the series is 1916-D. If this has introduced more people to the hobby, that would be awesome. Report this Post to the Staff
tershaffer Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:23 pm I have not tried searching a full box of dimes yet, but picked up 8 rolls today and the teller opened a new brinks box to get my rolls. I found one 1964 and this one, which I thought was odd, especially since it was much smaller than the dimes were. I have never found anything except canadian money roll searching before.

Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 1:03 pm so I had one last box of clear wrapped dimes I have been saving for over a year due to the lack of silver I saw on the edges of the wrappers opened this box and like the other I glanced over a silver edge 1961 D also 5 1969 3 2010D 1 really nice AU 1968 I swapped into my dansco once again glad I didn't return the box without opening it. those silver edges can be hard to see on dimes this is why I never recommend edge searching as the only method of coin hunting I edge search first when I open a roll and then go through coin by coin til next time Report this Post to the Staff
penny man Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 9:45 pm There is a museum near where I live that has a machine for people to donate, a dime at a time. It has several thousand dollars in dimes in it. I saw a silver in there and asked if I couold go through the dimes when the machine filled up if I sold the coins and split the profits with them. The person said it was possible and took down my phone number and email. I am still awaiting word. Report this Post to the Staff

Today I found another 1964 Roosevelt dime and a 1981-P Roosevelt dime clip! My first clip coin ever!

tershaffer Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 10:35 pm newb here, but may I ask what is up with the 1969 and 2010 D? I have just started coin collecting/roll searching and only have " Cherry Pickers Guide" so not real sure of what all to look for. Any help/suggestions would be awsome! Report this Post to the Staff
