Got a 1964 silver dime in change today after filling up with gas. I always pay cash and always put in $XX.01 and refuse the take a penny-leave-a-penny option and get the maximum amount of coins back. The cashiers are usually put off by this, but today it paid off in silver!

Tuesday's box of dimes......skunk; a friend found a '59 rosie in change and gave it to me! Good friends are hard to beat!

You have a very good friend there. However, since your friend found it, it won't count in the stats. Sorry....

I'm assuming that these are half dollar CWRs.

I'm in TX

Dime Box #14

seems my area is cleaned out. In four half boxes, not a single 40%er. Dimes are even very thin, out of 15 or so boxes total, only 8 Rosies and 6 of those came from two boxes. I am not giving up though, I will get as much as I can however little that may be, it is still fun and rewarding when I do find something.

[ardorlan]

Searched one box last week, skunko

(that makes all 3 boxes of 500$ skunks that I have ever searched July and Augest together)
I was hoping to find silver in about every other box

[Country]

The latest SILVER stats for August have been posted. Look to the first post of this thread to get the details. Always look to the line just before the Kitco quotes to see the last post that was included in the latest update.

[AGCoinHunter]

And the trend continues, one good bag, one skunk bag. But I cant complain...

$1k in bagged halves, nothing.
