So I haven't hunted anything except halves (and one box of nickels) since I moved to GA. Today I took my first shot at dimes, nickels and pennies. Picked up $340 in CWR dimes and all skunks including a ton of short rolls I'll have to fix. Got $64 in MWR nickels and scored 2 war nickels. $20 in MWR pennies yielded a whopping 37 wheats, including a '23, '29 and 4 'S' mint marks. got 4 in a roll, 3 in a roll and 2 in a roll 8 times. Very cool, very pleased. Definitely need to work on dumping.

Great! I hope you weren't shorted too much on the dimes, that can take all the fun out of searching them. I've gotten shorted too many times on cwr dimes.

I agree. And I've even been shorted 2 rolls in a Brinks dime box before. But a couple of weeks later I got a Brinks dime box that was I roll over which helped make up for it but I've never had problems with roll counts in half or nickel boxes. Also dimes can be such a problem dumping in coin counters too so for me dimes are just too risky and costly to search.

Well at least u scored good with the nickels and cents.
 

Upon 2nd count I found that 29 of the 68 rolls were miscounted. However I under gaining $0.70 rather than the loss I thought I occurred. Basically I found half a silver Rosie.
