$230 in small dollars got me nothing except a 1990 Canadian loonie.

Noticing that bank-wrapped Loomis rolls are almost always skunks for NIFC small dollars.

Sounds promising, though there'll probably be a fair amount of quarters in the mix. I say go for it.

Got the bag. A 10 second, looks like 1% SBA, fi not see any quarters.

This will be second sort. The pull of doing the box of halves is much stronger.

In the interest of time, I cheated. I weighed the rolls.
High was 225.1 low 223.8
WaAA NO SILVER.

SO on to the dimes.

Poop.
Chase...$80, cwr. I looked at the 3 heaviest. Nothing, not even extra coins.

Pima1...20 BWR. Zip
Pima2...$180 cwr, 4 that were ,underweight, counted 46,47.
I hate counting dimes, too small for these fumble fingers.

Heavyweight, 6. 52 in the highest.

So, it is possible but not probable. My scale is a cheapie.and most if the ,same wrappers, were 113-4.

Oh well. Still have to remove damaged . who knows ,there might be a Canadian , Mexican, or a clad proof.
Next,

I did not order quarter but he got a box. So of course, I took it. We know there is even less chance.

Yeah weird, trash. Spiders were aboutvdime size. Not magnetic.
The safety pin was broken, as I reached into the container for the next handful, I jabbed myself. That is my normal crappy luck.
