First Merc CRHing

[SilverJack]

Picked up two boxes of dimes on a lark today. First was skunk. Second produced 1953 Rosey and my fist Merc. A 1937 in decent shape.

Now if I could get some boxes of halves to produce. Only finds I've had recently have been from CWRs and teller trays... And not too many of those.

Nice! I just found my first Merc last Tuesday and it only took 2 years of crh'ing. ( I don't do many dimes...)
HH!

There's nothing in my book like finding a Mercury. My first one (actually 49 total) came from a single roll last year. It was an ender on an ancient-looking roll. I was so excited I took pics and then proceeded to unwrap the other end of the roll and there was another Merc. I dumped the roll onto the kitchen counter and OMG there were Mercury dimes everywhere. After looking through the pile I noticed one lone silver Rosie kept me from a solid roll of Mercs.

And then I waited until last Saturday to find my 50th Merc in a roll. They aren't too easy to come by and I treasure the ones I do find. It was just pure luck to find that solid silver dime roll for me.

congrats on the Merc, SJ. I found my first Merc (a '45) of 2012 on Tues and it sure was a nice surprise. Mine's in decent shape also (probably grades F) which makes it even a little nicer to find.

Good luck on the halves - it's still out there.

Yeah, that is the problem here, the dimes go into machines.

I was blowing through $450 trips on dimes twice a day for a week at two banks. I ran them down quick lol.

One day I found 14 dimes.

12-27 : 100 rolls - 4 Rosies
12-28 : 109 rolls - 0
12-29 : 72 rolls - 2 Rosie 1 Merc
12-30 : 138 rolls - 3 rosie 1 Merc
1-3 : 273 rolls - 13 rosie 1 merc
1-4 : 200 rolls - 3 rosie
1-5 : 100 rolls - 2 rosie
1-6 : 33 rolls - 1 rosie
1-7 : 59 rolls - 0

I think I came across someones dumped collections.
