<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 134205, member: 4626&quot;]So far I&#039;ve got 47-S, 53-D, 54-D, 57, 57-D, 58-D, 59-D 61-D, 62-D, 63, 63-D (2), and 64-D.&nbsp; One thing that seems to be constant is I get more Denver-minted dimes than anything else, not unusual since I&#039;m so close to Denver (which supports the theory that I&#039;m probalby getting coins from someone&#039;s old change jar that they cashed in, not bothering to take a look for old coins).&nbsp; The dates are pretty random but I do seem to be getting mostly 60&#039;s and late 50&#039;s.&nbsp; Never found any pre-Roosevelt dimes... nut likely any Mercury or earlier dimes would get pulled from circulation pretty quickly, even by non-collectors, as being different from the norm and thus likely more valuable by perception.&nbsp; A lot less people would bother to look at dimes and see if they were silver or not... many people not old enough to remember the removal of silver from dimes don&#039;t even know dimes ever had silver.&nbsp; Whatever small amount of silver is still left in circulation I think is having an easier time escaping notice by non-collectors than it would have 30 or 40 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
