0:07
is my wife I'm Janine and we're going to
0:10
open a roll of Dimes in this video and
0:12
we're hoping to find some really cool
0:14
old dimes no promises um but let's get
0:18
this started and you know a lot of folks
0:20
will ask like what are you looking for
0:21
in Roll of Dimes you know when did The
0:23
Mint start making copper nickel dimes or
0:27
the copper nickel yeah exactly so the us
0:30
mintt began making dimes as well as
0:32
quarters and half dollars out of various
0:34
clad compositions and in the case of the
0:36
dimes the mint began making copper
0:38
nickel clad dimes in 1965 so our goal is
0:42
to find
0:43
pre-1965 not pr64 which is a common
0:46
momer
0:47
pr65 silver dimes um now having said
0:51
that there's actually an error 1965
0:54
where some of the 1965 dated dimes are
0:57
made from Silver if we happen to find
0:59
one tonight we're going to go
1:00
ballistically crazily happy on this
1:02
video but we we may not find one if we
1:04
do you're going to know I promise okay
1:06
so let's open this dime roll up so I'm
1:09
looking for an error coin error coin I'm
1:13
looking for a silver dime silver dime
1:17
okay silver dimes all right let's do Sil
1:20
dim let's divide in half and see what's
1:22
in here all right I can't get these out
1:24
oh well let's see so we have here a 2010
1:27
P um 1973 three dim so far clads I
1:32
expected I think you did too yeah this
1:35
is 2000 2000 and you know you could look
1:38
for errors and varieties um a very
1:40
common type of I won't say it's common
1:42
but among errors a common type of eror
1:44
are offc Center dimes where they
1:46
designed a little off center like off
1:48
the center of the coin broad strikes in
1:52
which there is no rim and because the
1:55
retaining colar which the coin was
1:56
struck wasn't there the coin basically
1:59
flattens out a little wider uh than
2:01
normal so it looks thinner and wider and
2:03
has no Edge reading which uh would be
2:05
like the little lines on the edge of the
2:08
coin you might see them there um but
2:11
they weigh the same this is very pretty
2:14
look how pretty this one is what year is
2:16
that 1995 uh 2020 this still kind of
2:20
recent we're in 2024 Gosh guys my vision
2:23
stinks even with my glasses that's okay
2:25
I still love you anyway
2:27
thanks I'm starting to do that pull off
2:30
your classes I beg your pardon what do
2:33
we have here I know right um you see
2:36
here we have a these are all 2000 can
2:38
you see it this dime has a lot of verree
2:41
on it basically it's a kind of a
2:42
corrosion or a symptom of corrosion and
2:46
coins have copper they're very reactive
2:48
to all kinds of different chemicals and
2:51
atmospheric
2:53
conditions right there oh yeah yeah I
2:56
see that and so far ner a silver dime
2:59
have we found
3:00
what about this one which one do we have
3:02
it is a 19 drum roll please
3:08
1987 now speaking of 1980s dimes with
3:10
the p mint mark I'll kind of segue into
3:13
the no mint mark Dime One dime you want
3:16
to look for is a 1982 no P dime check
3:21
that out check I'm going to check it out
3:24
this is oh we're getting close 1969
3:26
we're in the
3:27
60s Woodstock
3:30
moon landing that's one small step for
3:38
man looking for 1982 no PE dime 1980 the
3:45
Philadelphia men began placing their P
3:48
mint mark on nickels dimes in quarters
3:50
and half dollars and the first couple of
3:53
years was transitory and so some of the
3:56
dimes 1982 were not or rather the dime
3:59
dies are produ the dimes were not uh
4:02
basically U punched with a p mint mark
4:05
so look for those so these are all like
4:07
P 2000 yeah that's what you expect I
4:10
mean you know a lot of these videos You
4:11
See online or in reals are going to Hype
4:13
up oh you're going to find all kinds of
4:14
cool silver and million dollar coin you
4:17
can in theory but realistically most
4:19
rols you open up are not going to yield
4:21
multi-million dollar or even $5 coins
4:24
and that's okay you got to be patient be
4:27
persistent if you don't find anything in
