Yes, I found a Booker T Washington 1946 Commem once.

And Aggie, you are killing us with anticipation!!!!

 

10 rolls of pennies: Lots of MS pennies, no wheats. Also found a silver dime (1959 P) in my change

 

I won't spoil his fun but I'll give you a preview.. Box of halves.. 10 enders.. 9 are '64 kennedy and one was a franklin..

It gets better..

Aggie, you S*B! I'm so excited you got that and let the kiddos search it!!! Awesome stuff man!!

 

I got a Booker T from a teller, never found one in a roll.

 

Who needs 50 cent so bad as to spend a Booker T. half?

 

Bob, I have pics on the phone if you really want to know!! I can text ya..

 

The same folks that toss in the 90% coins we find today..

 

thanks to Bobbeth and Aggie, I joined our local coin club this past week. This isn't roll searching related but I won in a raffle a REALLY nice 1883 Morgan.. Bobbeth has seen it and I give it at least (being conservative) AU 58.. Most likely a MS grade.. very nice for $5 worth of raffle tickets..

 

Merc will like this..

Picked up an AU 1909 VDB for $10.50 as well..

 

It is a gorgeous Morgan....and yes, text me the find by Erin!!!

 

What about the rest of us?

2 dimes from a box, 63, 45

 

Out of the $40 in dimes from above only one roll was BWR. When I got home I opened the last two rolls of dimes I could not get to at lunch and the BWR was last, and out pops a nice 1964! I was stoked as I had not found anything silver since Friday. The $10 nickles were skunk on silver and I got one 1940. Going to get more dimes today on lunch and I'm not taking any CWR's they have not been kind to me lately.

 

Keep hunting :thumb:
you may find A good one or better one!!!

 

Merc Dimes

Merc and anyone who searches lot of dimes.
I see averages of 2-3 silver per $250-$300 searched, but what are the odds of finding a merc?
I'm still hunting for my first one, and by no means am I complaining about my 2-3 silver per box average.

 

Unscientificly (from my personal results), about 8% of silver found (1 out of 12-13).

 

Roughly one in 8-10 silver dimes, I don't know the exact number, but can tell you later when I get into work.

 

I think it was more a lack of knowledge. I got a Walker, 2 Franklins, the Booker T., a 1964 and 4 40%'s from that teller, all loose. One of my best early scores out of a tray.

 

My average is about 1 per $250 (so be pleased with your percentage). Out of 59 total silver dimes I have found, one was a mercury dime.....the only one I've ever found. So, it greatly depends upon your area.

1 merc out of 59, wow. I'm pleased with my averages and have found 8 silver dimes so far. I have not searched a ton since I just got into this and don't have more than a couple hundred in cash to buy coins with. The answers (ALL) you guys provide are not something you can just "google" so I appreciate it. As long as the silvers keep coming it does not bother me much w/o a merc, I just want to find at least one someday to say I found a Merc.
