Today I called my most productive pick up bank to see if they had received my order of two boxes of halves yet. For the the second week in a row, the answer is no. Quite annoying if you ask me. So I decided I would hit a bank that is only minutes away from my school on the way home. Plus I had never hit it before so I thought I might get lucky. I pull into the lot and proceed to walk into one of the nicest ***** Banks I had ever come across. I picked up a box of cents and $250 worth of hand rolled dimes.
When I got home I was surprised with quite an odd looking roll that I had never received before. Popped it open an right there in front of my face was my first Mercury Dime! And as everyone here knows when you spot an ender you just cant wait to rip open the roll to get to that coin. So i dump the roll out into my hand as fast as I can an holy ****! Its a solid roll of silver dimes!

Of course I screamed, my sister ran in wide eyed and anxious only to see me smiling with my hands raised high above my head.
I began to pick through the coins and this is what I ended up with.

41 Silver Roosevelt's
9 Mercury dimes

The rest of the rolls were skunks, but how can I argue with my first silver dime, rosie, merc, and solid roll all in one box!

Also found a 1990 5 pence, don't think it's got silver in it, but its always cool to find foreign coins.

WOW! Congrats on a jackpot find!!! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2: What kind of roll was it? Can you describe it or take a pic of it? Just curious, thanks. That must have felt awesome when you opened it.
 

I have put 50 of my crh silver dime finds in my hand just to see what it would look like to find a solid roll. Amazing score, and I would have to say, maybe a once or twice find of your life!! :hello2:

I kept the roll because I went back to the same branch to see if they had any more with that wraper. The same teller i bought from an hour earlier said no, but he refused to go check the vault. Maybe he was holdin out on me :p
