<p>[QUOTE="C G Memminger, post: 2643800, member: 71506"]Best find was not in a roll....had a table at coin show in Houston when silver was around $30. Guy walked by rolling a suitcase behind him. I smiled, and enthusiastically asked "whatcha got?" He sat, opened the case, and produced two gallon-sized freezer bags full of Mercs. I locked up my cases, and walked him to another table where a buddy had a scale. Somewhere just shy of 10,000 grams (approx 4000 dimes). Paid him melt minus 12%, and he was gone. Could have sold them the same day at -8%.....but curiosity forced me to check a few of them. In the first handful, I found a decent 21-D. It was a sign!!! It took a week to go through all of them, but in the end I had three 21-Ds and one 21. Off to PCGS, where they came out in grades 8, 15, 15 and 20. </p><p><br /></p><p>Right up to the end, I was holding my breath hoping for the elusive 16-D...sadly it was not there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
