Here in the 🇺🇲 States,dimes are the toughest to hunt for silver.Outside of silver there is nothing to hunt with the exception of the 1996W dime.Thanks for the video.
I sometimes find steel dimes that are darker (gray) and dull too, and I don't know either what happened to them. Until now, I assumed it was environmental damage, but I'm not certain for sure... I've got over 3 boxes of dimes, where 2 full boxes were circulated in plastic, and were opened in front of me by the teller. I took them as-is because coins were not white machine rolls (that risk to be ARP rolls). At the 3rd branch where I also got a full box of dimes, they first brought me a box full of machine rolls (even after having told them I wanted customer rolls), and she finally accepted to swap them for all the plastic rolls they had around. I've been successful with silver at this branch, so sure enough. After just a few rolls, I found a 1965! There are lots of Americans too. There were 4 Americans in the same roll as the 1965 80% silver. Of course, I pull out all American coins, and if I get a full box with hardly a single American (like yours), it might have been gone through by a hunter so when I see that trend, I lower my expectations. To keep the pleasure until the end, I alternatively hunt rolls in each of the 3 boxe, as well as the equivalent of one box of quarters, so I'll simultaneously see how the 2 other boxes perform. So yes, you should also continue to hunt dimes, but if you remember the branches you got more silver, it's a good idea to return and ask for customer rolls again.
In my last pickup, I got some white Dime machine rolls from 3 different banks. I tend not to accept them (in large quantities) because they might as well be ARP rolls. I spotted an old nickel "Tiara" bust among each bundle at each different bank, so I said, there might be silver and US dimes. As I'm going through them, there are just a few nickel dimes, not a "single" US dime. Hunting these is quite dry, because I'm starting to think these rolls, while not ARP, they still could have been sorted with a magnetic machine that rejects anything not magnetic. At one branch, I got a full box of these... Not a single US dime. It can't be a coincidence, because with customer rolls, I average 1 US dime per roll, sometimes more. Not finding US dimes is not a big deal, but it says these rolls are stuffed exclusively with magnetic coins, so no chance for silver. I think I won't take any more of these machine rolls unless I see an American or silver ender... In any case, customer rolls have always outperform white machine rolls by far, even non ARP ones that have US in them... Surprisingly, I also got white quarter non ARP rolls, that have US in them, so yes, in these we have a chance for silver... No silver this time for me, but the hunt was still more challenging because hope was there, and there were chances for color as well, especially the 2015 large poppy...
@@CADRollHunter Yes, and the thing I now discovered, is that in these machine rolls, an old Tiara bust ender does not mean there's a chance for silver or good coins, since 100% of them might be magnetic. I also avoid those, but sometimes when I ask for a too large amount they pull out boxes of them, alas, and don't look in their loose customer rolls (even if I ask at the beginning). At one of the branches, I asked for $400 in customer rolled dimes, and they came back with 1 full box and 3 bundles of these white rolls. I insisted a bit, saying, "Don't you have a single customer roll to switch for these?", and the teller switched 2 bundles of these for a mix of plastic and brown paper rolls, and there was a 1955 silver dime! So I earned it with insisting a little more on having customer rolls... That's the only silver this time around, but that's awesome, and tells us we should avoid the machine rolls. In USA, they're lucky, because their machine rolls seem not to prevent having silver in them. Since their coins are non-magnetic, they reject the magnetic coins, so all silver, even Canadian silver, can get in their machine rolls...
I don’t know if you have mentioned the 3 different mint varieties of the 68 dime, the Ottawa/silver and the ones minted in Philadelphia 🙂 you can only tell by the reeds on the rim/magnetic or not love finding those
I've covered it before, but not recently. Something I should probably bring up again - particularly for newer viewers. Thanks for mentioning it - I appreciate it!
I'm not keeping the nickel ones. Nickel would need to see a steep increase for it to be worthwhile. But then again, nobody would have been thinking about stockpiling silver coins in the 50s!
@@CADRollHunter I started asking the banks for boxes myself. Between your videos and chatting to folks at the local coin shows here in SW Ontario, its a fun little thrill. Surprised I already have found silver, 3 dimes so far! Its been great reigniting the hobby again. I have to say I enjoy your videos as it helps give some education on things to keep an eye out for. Got half a box of customer wrapped to hunt still so should be a fun afternoon.
I instinctively feel a trend where certain branches (almost) never have silver, even in customer rolls, and some other branches are more successful. Let's wish each other good luck to continue finding silver...
I hope we get a part two video when you find out the story behind that 2020 possible mint error. :) EDIT: you said you were in SW Ontario. If you're in London, let me know so we don't visit the same banks haha ;)
Hello there for some reason i can post on my cell but some reason can't do it on my computer, today i got some nickels from my bank and some dimes. The only good thing from the dimes found one Charles 3 dimes. The nickels I pull a 1939 Jefferson Philadelphia nickel, no doubling date, but a George 6 1942 and 1946 and 1949. The
But the best was a 1980 nickel with the doublingof the year 1980, still have to check it out with the other one I found that ICCS didn't say it was a double day Date. I have a 1946 nickel that not sure if it is 6 over 6 or the broken arrow . It looks like it the inside of the 6 looks like it has a wider bottom half I compare it to the 46 i found today and you can not see anything in the 46 I found today thanks again for your Chanel.
Hey james I remember you finding that other similar dime in a previous video, I've found 2 2020 and 1 2021 bluenose under sail that I think are the same as what you found. I wasn't sure if it was missing the nickel plating or if someone plated them. it's kinda hard to tell in the video but is the colour like a darkish grey with slight copper tone to it?
Do you ever show the difference of the Ottawa and Philadelphia reeding on the 1968 dimes made of nickel? Granted, they're common, but are still varieties.
I've highlighted it a few times, but not regulary, and not recently, for sure! I'll try and remember to point that one in my next dime video. It's an intersting bit of history.
Their all not winners, or everyone would be CRH. I just opened a full quarter box from "a old women" as described from my pickup bank, James. Wow almost all the coins were non-silver eagle backs and almost none were in nicer shape, go figure. We need to keep our day jobs for now 🤣
CAD Roll Hunter , the 1921 -2021 was not the first color dime for Canada , I personally have a 2019 with water , and boat totally colored , mintage only 15,000 You may want to look into this and update your video . Bye ya all !
Hey Brian - that's correct. But what I said in the video is that the 2021 was the world's first CIRCULATING colourized dime. The colourized one you're referring to was not a coin minted for circulation. It was a collector coin minted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 in silver. Now, if only I could find one of those in circulation!!
Have you ever found ARP dimes? Thats something ive never seen, ive only gotten ARP nickels and quarters I got a machine wrapped roll of loonies, but i guess they dont ARP dollars because there was plaenty of bronze plated nickel loonies The guy who found the 1969 posted it on reddit, i saw it there, lucky guy I got about 50 coloured dimes i was finding a few per box for a long time last year Those victory nickels are in decent shape, i always find chrome plated steel rusty, from ww2 and korean war I found a 1937 three pence metal detecting in Toronto, but the 1937 is brass or something not silver Last year i pulled like $125 in american change, sold it to my friends mom for a few bucks more, she was going to florida
Occasionally we run across these boxes (more often than we'd like!) Thanks for the video!
That's the way it goes, of course! Thanks for watching!!

I've had my best luck with dimes for silver, but they're otherwise very tough to hunt, and hard to see!
Loved the old coin purse. Those are always a great find cuz you just never know.
When you see something older like that, you certainly get your hopes up that there might be treasure inside!
Nice hunt 👍😊.
Thanks, Dave!
I have found a 2020 like that too. Even darker than yours. It's in my mystery pile.
I also have a mystery pile with a few interesting anomalies like that one!
Wings of peace are pretty uncommon, and unless they're in bad shape, I consider them a find.

It's darkish grey. Not exactly a copper tone, though.
King Charles 2023 dimes and loonies seem to be pretty scarce.
ironic because those are the two coins I actually have. I have yet to find the nickel, quarter or toonie

Dimes don't excite me. Might like them better if I could see the date.
They are *very hard* to read - and getting harder every day for me!!
@CADRollHunter 👀 yup I need new glasses is what it's telling me.
