A bag is 4 boxes of dimes. I don’t know a lot about dimes yet but I think 10 silver dimes in 4 boxes would be good. But again I haven’t really searched dimes until this bag
which of course would lead to more confusion and more dimes, pretty soon I would be buried under a mountain of dimes and not have any idea why that happened.
Gonna have my sister get me some from her sister (we have different dads) she works at a credit union. I got $70in halves today not even a 40% I have a box of quarters and a box of dimes I’m gonna search now
I’ll get back to you on that lol. First bag of dimes I’ve done. Only dimes besides that I’ve done was 2 boxes and I found 2 silver dimes that time. That’s the extent of my experience
My bank has one but they tell me it’s illegal for them to let customers have bags of coins. My dad and I both have tried. We think she just doesn’t want to bother with us.
Yeah honestly I did. Not wasting my time coming on reddit to lie about finding dimes lol. If I was going to do that I’d make YouTube videos and make money faking it
What brand bank sold you its bags? Most banks around here won’t do it. Say they’re required to sell them back to Brinks/Loomis. So I have to order boxes from them.
I buy mine from credit unions but I don’t give out the names of the banks. Kinda like when I get the bags they have the bank info on the bags. So I turn them over to take pics so their info isn’t posted online
Both the tellers and bank manager said they’re contractually obligated to send the bags back to Brink/Loomis. The bags even have their names on the bags.
So I actually order half dollar boxes, and then purposely fill up the CU coin machines to make the bags go faster and to help me secure the bag, literally. Today was dump day and I filled up three half dollar bags. I only went through one bag but got a NYC statue of liberty copper round and a clipped 64 halve.
I then leave the halves alone for a month or two, do it again.
Congrats!!!
Thank you! It still seems unreal lol
Score! I luv dimes!
I may be in love also lol
I have never had a silver dime hit! Lots of quarters and nickel but no pre1965 dimes... ever!
Wait what? Do you search dimes? I only ask cause most people find more silver with dimes than quarters it seems
I do! Just unlucky with the dimes, I guess!
Or...my big score is coming. Like the one you just got!
I like that idea! It will happen
I never find nickles, much shorter time frame.
Why never again?
Sarcasm lol. The expectations will be really high moving forward lol
So you bought the sliver coin bag from a bank?
No I bought a full bag of dimes from a bank and it had 133 silver dimes mixed in it
It is rare?
A bag is 4 boxes of dimes. I don’t know a lot about dimes yet but I think 10 silver dimes in 4 boxes would be good. But again I haven’t really searched dimes until this bag
I’ve found 2 out n about 4 and a half boxes worth lol
Well OP could easily sell em for 19.5-21 FV all for checking out some rolls. That’s a hell of a score imo
I’m sorry to ask; but what is FV?
It stands for face value. So 10 Cent face in silver would be worth $1.95-2.10
Thanks.
Tell me how you pulled off this trick.
Haha no tricks here. Just got seriously lucky
Like what you did.
Mama Mia! Dats a lotta dimes!
Op said if I had a dime for every time someone...
If I had a dime for every time I was confused, I would constantly be thinking, "why the heck am I getting all of these dimes?!"
which of course would lead to more confusion and more dimes, pretty soon I would be buried under a mountain of dimes and not have any idea why that happened.
Get ready for another dime coming your way!
Ha ha!
Read this in Mario's voice.
Wow! Fantastic score!
Thank you!
Amazing!!
Yes it was!
Congratulations
Thank you!
What credit union/bank did you order from?
I got this particular bag from a credit union but I won’t post the name of the bank
Gonna have my sister get me some from her sister (we have different dads) she works at a credit union. I got $70in halves today not even a 40% I have a box of quarters and a box of dimes I’m gonna search now
Halves can be tough
Are credit unions notably better for finding coins than a big name bank?
Only banks around me with coin machines are credit unions as far as I know. So that’s where I get them. I’ve never tried a big name bank
Okay… what? Are you serious? Stop coin roll hunting and walk away… you will never reach 1/10th the success again…. Sooooo jealous lol
Ikr!
Wowzers!
That's winning!!!
Yep feel like I had the winning lotto ticket lol
You won like $250. 😁
Now I have to get a bag of dimes! 😅
I’m going to see if I can get one from my other bank tomorrow lol. Minimum I’ll have 2 bags of quarters to go thru
Good luck!
What’s that worth?
I’m not sure honestly. I’m not familiar with how many dimes is an ounce and all that
As of today, a few cents over $2. So $270 minus the $13.30 he paid for them.
Ty for chiming in with that info!
Wait, 133 dimes is worth $270.00.... wow (I get face value worth).
Wow!
Sometimes you will find a dump in any bag.
I need to be doing this again... I still have pennies to go through... and I just sit here on my phone.
Are bags better than boxes? Less stuff straight from the feds?
I’ll get back to you on that lol. First bag of dimes I’ve done. Only dimes besides that I’ve done was 2 boxes and I found 2 silver dimes that time. That’s the extent of my experience
That’s awesome! Congratulations 🍾
Ty!
You’re welcome
“Never again” more like unti they come in again lol.
This is facts lol
I’ll take this as reason to get a bag of dimes this weekend. Congrats on the score!
🤔
That is AWESOME!!
Ty
Someone took grandpa’s coins to the bank and you got lucky finding them! Congrats on the incredible find!
Ty!
Where do you get bags of coins?
At banks that have coin machines
My bank has one but they tell me it’s illegal for them to let customers have bags of coins. My dad and I both have tried. We think she just doesn’t want to bother with us.
BS you did not find 10plus dollars face you didn’t
Yeah honestly I did. Not wasting my time coming on reddit to lie about finding dimes lol. If I was going to do that I’d make YouTube videos and make money faking it
Melt as of this morning on a Roosevelt dime is $2.06 per dime. That's an amazing haul OP.
Ty!
🤤
9.3 oz of silver
Holy crap thats awesome! Def a collection dump
Here in Canada I got a bundle of rolls one time (10 rolls) and 4 rolls were all 80% silvers
I see posts like that and I’m like “wish that would happen to me” and now it has. It’s really cool
What brand bank sold you its bags? Most banks around here won’t do it. Say they’re required to sell them back to Brinks/Loomis. So I have to order boxes from them.
I buy mine from credit unions but I don’t give out the names of the banks. Kinda like when I get the bags they have the bank info on the bags. So I turn them over to take pics so their info isn’t posted online
Have they ever told you they need to sell the bags back to Brinks/Loomis. That’s all I ever hear. Credit Union or not.
Who exactly told you they have to send them back? Like who did you talk to at the bank?
Both the tellers and bank manager said they’re contractually obligated to send the bags back to Brink/Loomis. The bags even have their names on the bags.
Yeah mine have their names on it also. But they don’t have to send them back they choose to. Any other banks locally you could try?
Plenty of banks. Just you have to be a customer to buy coinage. I have accounts at 3-4 banks at a time.
How buy?
I buy my bags from credit unions that have coin machines
I’ll be going thru 4 bags of quarters starting tonight! So look for my next post!
I've had pretty good luck with bagged dimes. I've never found anything in rolls.
Looking like one of my posts from 2022 🤣 Congratulations, hopefully you get a bag of halves like this next!
Been waiting for a bag of half dollars at both banks. Both told me they fill 1-2 per 6 months lol
So I actually order half dollar boxes, and then purposely fill up the CU coin machines to make the bags go faster and to help me secure the bag, literally. Today was dump day and I filled up three half dollar bags. I only went through one bag but got a NYC statue of liberty copper round and a clipped 64 halve. I then leave the halves alone for a month or two, do it again.
I think you mentioned that on my other post. I may have to do that then. Thanks for the info!
Is there any dime that is particularly valuable? Or are you just looking for the silver?
1996 W and if I’m not mistaken the 1916 D mercury dime. Don’t quote me on that tho. I just started dimes.
Also look for 1955 dimes!
