    I found this coin last week on my first ever bank roll search. I bought $20 in dimes and this fell out of the second roll. It may noot be anything special as far as Mercury Dimes go, but I sure like it, and it lit the fire for more to come.

    Thanks, I couldn't believe that it rolled out. As soon as I cracked the roll it seperated from the rest of the coins instantly.

    I posted my last weeks worth of finds in the roll searchers post as well. It has been a very lucky week too.

    It's not exactly "common". I get one per every 5-7 bank boxes. Considering each one is $250 x .10 = 2500 x 5 = 12500 dimes. 1:12500 isn't common :)

    Now, it's a tad bit more common in customer wrapped rolls.

    Very nice find!!

    Maybe kinda common to some, but on my first search, and with just $20 in dimes, I think I was rather lucky.

    Thanks. As for the Micro S, I am not sure. I just learned what that is yesterday and need to dig out my loupe to see it closer. I do believe it may be though.
