I was only able to carry $230 in dimes and $10 in pennies back from the bank. It turns out that at least some of my penny rolls are filled with freshly minted 2013 coins, so these are likely going to be handed right to my dump bank without even getting cracked. Right now I've only opened 4 penny rolls and found a single 1953D wheat penny so far.
I did have a chance to get through all of the dime rolls, though. Even though I didn't exactly find a lot of silver coins in this haul, I did get an absolutely gorgeous 1942 silver mercury dime! I don't have a loupe, but I squinted extra, extra hard and sadly it's not a 1941/1942 overdate. I'll try to see if I can get a pic with my DSLR camera sometime, but you'll just have to accept my smartphone camera pic for now. I also got a single 1964 Roosevelt silver dime. That brings my silver count since 4/10 to 13 silver coins!
Silvers and Wheat Coin Roll Hunting Finds 4/23/2013 |
Cool blog. Coin roll hunting is tons of fun especially when you get a nice find. I like searching dimes. Nice job on the merc. Too bad it wasnt the 1941/42.
