June 13th coin hunt update:
I hunted the rolled coins I brought home the other day. Sadly, this bunch of rolls had no silver, but I was able to find:
$1.25 in US coins, the highlights being a nickel from 1959 and a nice shiny 1965 clad dime.
A few nice shiny Canadian nickels and dimes, including a nice 1965 and a few 1991 dimes.
A coin from the Czech Republic was all I found out of the quarter rolls…
I’ve found lots of 1968 nickel alloy dimes. It’s surprising that there are so many of them still circulating after 57 years. Compare their longevity to the poorly made, disposable coins that the RCM cranks out today which rust away within 1-2 years.
There’s always a chance that I could find a 1969 large date dime one day…
Enjoy!
