Hunting through rolls of dimes

[Dirty Knees McGee]

I bought twenty dollars in rolled dimes from the bank today and found this 1923 mercury dime in my first roll!!!? Very cool, unfortunately, the other three rolls had all new 2005 dimes.? Also got five dollars in pennies and found 1944 and 1956 wheaties, not to mention at least 5 Canadian pennies.?

Anyways, I just had to share my 1923 Mercury Dime find.? I really wasn't expecting one, just maybe some pre '64 Rosies. HH

You hit it right on the nose, beetle662! That was the reason I bought the rolls in the first place...too blasted hot out! Though I must confess, I did go out that evening and lost a few pounds in sweat, but did find a few dollars in clad. Still did not top that mercury find! You would think that by now, you wouldn't find mercury dimes in rolls from the bank. I thought previous discussions on roll hunting and finding oldies were nothing more than a hoax, but I am a believer now!!! Thank god my wife finds my hobby amusing, otherwise she would probably think I'm nuts! HH
