Took this week off for a surgical procedure that is being done tomorrow at 8:00. To get my mind off of it I decided that it
was Road Trip Time!!!!!!!!!!!! Drove about 60 miles total and really didn't find anything but 3 68 40% kennedy's. Last
stop was right before my dump bank and I stopped in on a whim. No halves to be had so I asked for Customer Rolled Dimes.
The teller told me that she only had six available, did I want them. Well the answer of course is "YES"...:laughing7:


**Breakdown of years and MM's are in the thread further down**


Got out to my car and the first three that I looked at were these:

Thought someone/somebody was playing a nice practical joke on the next CRH who happened to stop by. I didn't even
bother to open them right there because I knew it was just a cruel joke. Went to my dump bank and dumped what little
I had and headed home to check out the sixty dollars in Dimes.

First three rolls were skunks then I got to the three above. For those of you with a Pace Maker or are on High Blood Pressure
medicine please stop reading here, I refuse to be responsible for what happens after you see the next pic's.

First roll marked ROS-Silver:

Could my luck be holding as I ripped apart roll number two of the ROS-Silver marked rool:

Now I am really drooling as I try to rip open the Merc-Silver roll:

Had to go outside and have a nice glass of COLD COLD water to cool down and of course a little cig...

Here is the take, 150 Silver US Dimes. 100 Roosevelt and 50 Winged Liberty Dimes.

The silver Gods are smiling on me right now, hope it stays that way.
It will be at least three weeks before I can hit a window where I can get out again. This
will just have to hold me till then.

10.85 Toz of the ever so sweet hunting.

Rileyboy sums it up nicely - "It is still out there" - Used with copyright authority, Rileyboy enterprises 2012. :laughing7:

**UPDATE**

From the breakdown of the dates, it would appear that this was somebodys collection that got turned in. I am only doing the Winged Liberties, I already have a full Roosevelt Dansco in BU/Proof so they are merely junk silver.

UNREAL, congrats! How could someone possibly dump those rolls when it says SILVER right in the roll ???? Lol . I am jealous!
Weeeeeeeeeeee!
 

Wholee Khrap! :headbang: Congratulations!
 

Do you think the person who dropped those rolls off had any idea what was in them?

That is one great find

I can hear it now. Honey, do you know where those 3 roll of dimes I had in my closet have gone to I was just looking at them last week and cannot find them now!

I needed some gas money so I turned them in at the bank dear!
Hope you do not mind.

Some CRH's have been known to write that on the rolls of clad they turn in. Don't ask me how I know......
Teller probably didn't even think anything of it.
 

AWESOME. Gotta love those hand rolled rolls. :-) I ALWAYS get hand rolled over brinks (Or whomever) rolled!

Way to go!!

(Will help pay your portion of your surgeryt his week too)

That it will.
 

Awesome find, Thats alot of silver:icon_thumleft:
 

alright, I am always going to ask, every freaking time for Customer Rolled dimes.
 

Still have never found a solid dime roll... nice score!
 

Nice find, congrats!
 

Awsome score there Freedom!, Amazing is more like it, Good luck with the procedure tomorrow!, HH, Maverick.
 

Did you sprint back in and ask for all CWR of quarters, nickels and cents?
 

Instead of a like button, we need a "Green with envy" button for posts such as these.
 

Sweet cull of silver. I look forward to hearing about any good dates. Good to know that there aren't any cherry picking tellers at that branch. You should clear out the vault of any CWRs of any denomination. Get them all.

When I get better, I am in alot of pain right now and the Pain Killers are not helping much.....
