I was thinking about doing a similar contest, but the winner who guesses the right number would win the silver. Not bad for you guys!
Ever wonder how many dimes are in a coin roll? The answer is 50 dimes, for a total of $5!
Back to the box! I only found 1 1957 silver dime and it was super dirty. In fact, I almost missed it while edge hunting. It was very well hidden in there. There's actual dirt down in the details of the coin which makes me think it was fully buried. Maybe it's a metal detecting find that the digger never noticed was silver and just mixed in with the clad. I've done my fair share of metal detecting and I have to admit that the coins do look a lot like this when they're pulled out of ground.
The back is pretty dirty so it's really hard to make out any details, but I don't think I can see a mint mark.
Silver coin number 24 for the year! I guess I know the 5 magic words for getting free silver from banks.... "Can I have a box?"
