DIMES

[MIhunter]

All of my half dollar veins are tapped out! I still pick up whatever loose and CWRs that I can find. I am finding 3-4 40%ers a month.

My new goal is 2-3 dime boxes a day, 6 days a week. Hopefully I will find 15-20 silver dimes a week.

So far:
Sunday
Box #1 - 2 FDRs
Box #2 - 3 FDRs
Monday
Box #1 skunk
Box #2 1 FDR
Tuesday

Oh, the pain of zero silver!! But tomorrow is a new day!!

 

[MIhunter]

Monday
Loomis Box #1 1967 Canadian silver dime
Loomis Box #2 1964D

Is really bugs me that there is no way to tell if this is a 50% or 80% silver. I love Canada, but their mint doesn't play nice

Great thread! You are tearing the dimes up!
Im averaging 1 per box, Brinks

Nothing better than getting silver @ face value

+1. MIh is doing about as good as $$ with the dimes.

And I search Brinks dime boxes as well and have about the same 1 keeper per box avg. I like seaching Brinks dime boxes because they are so easy to search & dump.

And finding silver @ face is sure great! H$H!

Were you able to go to Windsor any time to get Canadian boxes? I know that the mint culls the silver, so CWRs should be better.

 

[MIhunter]
