Another round of dime hunting

Not to brag obnoxiously, but I thought I'd share my (heretofore) schweet score.
I get dimes 3 times per quarter, b/c my dump bank account (where they have a counter) has a limit on how frequently you withdraw.
This was my last pickup of the the winter quarter 2013, and I got my usual 4 boxes of dimes from another bank.

So far I've just gone through 22 rolls ($110) out of the total 200 rolls, and I've found 4 silver roosies. :D
Couldn't be happier with these boxes, even if the rest turns out to be skunk city (simultaneously crossing my fingers and knocking on wood that's not the case).

I'll post again when I'm done on how the total wound up for all 4 boxes.

Finally tally for all 4 boxes: 13.
11 roosies and 2 Mercs.
Box 1 was the best, with 5.
Box 2 had 4.
Box 3 was a skunk.
Box 4 was immediately promising, when I cracked it open I saw a Mercury dime fasces on the end of one roll. It wound up with 4 also, including that end-roll Merc.

This set of boxes was definitely spoiling me; I've gone through quite a few sets and hit 3 silvers out of a $1000 face value.

Good luck in your dime hunting, reddirt & thegus!

Very nice. I used to pick up several thousand a week. Usually average one dime per box. CWR were best. Dumping was pain. Had to stop Needed cash to bail out a relative.
