Not quite as amazing as Mavericks week but the dime numbers keep on climbing and I finally broke my halves skunk streak so I am definitely a happy fella, even if it is only 2 40% lol..

Awesome haul!
Bunch of beautiful lookin coins there.
Thanks for sharing.

Only bad thing is you had to go through 14 boxes of dimes to find all that. It still blows my mind at how much coinage some of the CRHrs go through here. You must live in big cities because there is no way a CRHr could do that much hunting here where I live.

Sweet Haul by the way.

Hugs and Smiles,

I hear ya... Halves are beyond horrible in my area, but I still hunt 4 boxes a week and will occasionally do 6 boxes. I just can't handle the long skunk streaks without adding a little silver to the pile.. Before this month I was averaging 1 silver per dime box, but obviously I am way above that average right now and in this hobby it pays to capitalize when the gettin is good.. I don't live in a big city, but definitely have enough branches of banks with coin counters around me which allows me to be searching that kind of dime volume.. Dimes are real quick and easy to search as well.. No date searching or even double checking your edges like you have to with halves.. They stick out like a sore thumb.. I can go through 6 boxes in 2 hours, which I truly don't mind doing at the end of my day when I am having a beer and watching TV before bed.. Plus considering where the economy is heading, those dimes will be worth a lot more in twenty years.. All in all, I am not too worried about searching the boxes, but am more worried about my wife putting me in an institution

Also, this week I only searched my normal order of 10 boxes.. I upped my order to 14 next week so I can hit the two particular banks that hold the sweet boxes harder..

Love those dimes - consistently more variety than halves.

After searching my first die box last night, I am going to start doing more of them. I was able to search the shrink wrapped dimes in about 15 minutes and pulled 3 silver. Plus, the banks will take back dimes all day long.

Wow! Those are great numbers on the dimes! I pulled 4 from a box this morning. Definitely helps between half dollar lulls!

Yea I have been very happy with the numbers.. All of the boxes that have given me the huge scores have the same inspector number.. I can't imagine what the score would be if all of my boxes had that particular stamp.. That is where the collection dump is..

Hey CC, sweeeet score there! I wish I could search some dimes, but I just can mess with my money I use for my half system right now. I'd love to hit the dimes though, maybe sometime in the future, or this winter when my business slows down a bit. Again, SWEEET SCORE! hh, Maverick.

Also, I had a good week yes, but I think it'll start the skunk streak over now, well, It all ready started, my last 4 boxes of the week were all skunks, my finds came early in the week. So, my skunk streak is allready at 4 boxes. lol. Maverick.

It's all about clear brinks rolls. 15 minutes tops and you take em back all day. Now, if only they had halves in clear wrappers.... Oh man.

"A toll is a toll and a roll is a roll.. And if we don't get no tolls, then we don't search no rolls..."

What?

Sorry for being off-topic.

I agree. I got a Loomis box today, and it took considerably longer. lol

 

[hotrod]

nice finds!

 

[AdDicted2Ag]

All the clear rolls I have ever tried never produced any silver for me.. I have only searched 6 boxes though..

 

[baddbluff]

Those dimes are sweet. Nice haul! Cool pics too. That's equal to about 15 months of dimes for me. Congrats! Hope the boxes keep producing!

I hear that - in five years of searching dimes, I have found exactly one silver in the clear Brinks rolls.

 

[Local_coins]

All the dimes I have searched are all Brinks clear rolls and I get 1-4 silvers per box.

 

[AdDicted2Ag]

Well if they are producing that much then hit them hard.. I don't mind paper rolls really since I have coin counters to dump at..
