1st silver dime from a box

I have a couple of dump banks that won't order me coin but I figured I would start asking for a box of dimes when I go in.

Today, I bought one box of $250 in clear plastic rolls and found a 1961 D.

The beauty is I only have to re-roll that one roll out of the box and turn the rest in their plastic rolls.

If you had to chose between dimes and quarters, would you search dimes?

I know halves are the way to go but there are some banks that won't order them.

Halves, then dimes. Quarters are last due to the number of people searching them and the number of people who short quarter rolls.

Well I have other banks that order me nickels; I figure the dimes are a nice distraction and I can turn them back in fairly quickly

Well I got lucky again today, I went to one of my half pick up banks and the teller who sells me my halves was not there and had them locked up. I asked if they had any dime rolls in plastic and they had $50 worth. I bought them and saw a silver one in one of the rolls. It was a 1962 D. Maybe just a lucky day haha

Correction I found a 3rd one :) There was one roll that had a really dark dime in there and I wasn't sure if it was silver or a clad one so figured I would just open the roll and it was a 1952
