Picked up 1 - $1000 bag of dimes and 2 - $50 bags of pennies today at one of my weekly stops.

The $1000 in dimes were pretty good.
9 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1947, 1953, 1958-D, 1959, 1962-D, 1963-D, 1964, 1964-D(2))

1 - 1960 Canadian silver dime
1 - 1968 Canadian silver dime
22 other Canadian (1974, 1977(2), 1979(2), 1981, 1983, 1984(2), 1986, 1989, 1990, 1991(2), 1998(3), 1999(2), 2000, 2002-P, 2005-P)

5 Foreign (Germany, 1 Pfennig (1996-J), Germany, 1 Euro Cent (2002-G), Great Britain, 5 New Pence (2004), Netherlands, 10 Cents (1975), Switzerland, 1/2 Franc (1993))

1 nickel

1 wheat penny (1953-D)


The first $50 bag of pennies was average.
15 wheat pennies (1935, 1940, 1941, 1945, 1948-D, 1949, 1951-D(2), 1951-S, 1954-D, 1955, 1956-D, 1957-D(2), 1958-D)

20 Canadian (1959, 1964, 1967, 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981(2), 1983, 1985(2), 1987, 1989(2), 1991, 1997, 2004, 2005)


The second $50 bag of pennies was obviously someone's zinc reject dump, or at least for most of the bag.
Though I did manage to still find the following:
3 wheat pennies (1925-S, 1944, 1944-D)

8 Canadian (1973, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1996, 1999, 2003 Royal Diademed)

1 play money penny

1 clear plastic round

More good stuff, congrats!

Did you already return those 15 bags of pennies?
 

Thats a really good bag of dimes, Awesome!

Do you think that maybe you get more silver dimes up there because of the mix of Canadian and people not paying that close of attention?
Ie, all white rimmed coins must be Canadian?
 

that is a super bag of dimes

Maybe. I average around 1.5 - 2 per $250 worth which doesn't seem much different than anyone else.
