Saturday's Hunting
I didn't plan on doing any coin roll hunting, but I woke up early so I figured I'd hit some banks in a town to the north. I asked a few banks if they had any halves (they didn't) and then I made a wrong turn that put me in a different state. I asked for halves at another 10 or so banks with no results. I decided that I wanted to search some kind of coin, so at the next two banks I hit I asked for halves and then followed up with: "then can I buy a box of dimes". I started heading home with two boxes of dimes and then saw a cluster of banks in a shopping center and asked for halves at all three. One of them gave me a sealed Brinks box of halves. I searched that and dumped it. It was a total skunk. I've searched three brinks boxes so far and all have been skunks. I'm getting the feeling that everyone dumps into brinks supply in my neck of the woods, but I'm not totally giving up on them yet.
Onto the productive part of the day:
I got home and searched the dimes. I really wasn't expecting much. The second roll of the first box produced a mercury dime. In total, the first box gave me 4 mercs. The second box was looking like a skunk until one of the final rolls gave me a 1961 Canadian dime (google told me that it's 80% silver). Possibly the best part of the day was when I went to a local bank that I recently opened an account with to dump the dimes. It did not miscount a single dime. My total was right on the money. I think I'm going to augment my slow half days with dimes from now on.
