I'd definitely recommend putting your found dimes into your albums, I've put ones I've "bought" off people at the Coin Star in there.<BR/><BR/>Chris, what are your other find percentages? Do they match mine?kestreliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945878104798456156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823963200890450212.post-29691607125572994932007-05-30T01:03:00.000-04:002007-05-30T01:03:00.000-04:00Besides some of the really old pennies (1909-1940)...Besides some of the really old pennies (1909-1940) the silver dimes are going to be the toughest. I have searched about $500 worth and only found one! I have about eight or nine that I have found while searching for change, but I can't decide if I should add them to my book or attempt to find them again on my own. Tough decisions, but at the pace I'm going I apparently have a lot of time to decide.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090999986550207349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823963200890450212.post-683889711098580382007-05-29T09:03:00.000-04:002007-05-29T09:03:00.000-04:00Chris, you're right.

(Collecting all of the silver Roosevelt dimes might be extremely tough, though.)<BR/><BR/>Let me know if I can help you out any!kestreliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945878104798456156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823963200890450212.post-91142903218622256662007-05-29T02:15:00.000-04:002007-05-29T02:15:00.000-04:00Congratulations on the paper money.

That's always a nice find. <BR/><BR/>The mint marks can really get confusing, especially on nickels where they can be on the front, back top, or back side, depending on the year.<BR/><BR/>It really is amazing about different coin finds in different areas of the country. I'm working on all the coin collections now. I have gone through no more than $160 in half dollars and I have all of the halfs that you are missing.<BR/><BR/>I would offer to keep my eyes open for your missing coins, but somehow I think that you are intent on finding them on your own. However, if that isn't the case let me know.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090999986550207349noreply@blogger.com
