Three More Silver Eisenhower Dimes 1946 1952 and 1959 I Bought At The Fleamarket




I have here three more silver Eisenhower dimes I bought from the local fleamarket in my hometown. I know I didn't technically get these from coin roll hunting but sometimes I like to add a few coins to my collection when I have a little spending money on me. I believe these are all no mint mark silver Eisenhower dimes. They are in fairly bad shape but they are valued at about $2 each at average circulated condition so the extra 25 cents I paid above that is not to bad.

I actually see these going on auction sites for more than that so I'm happy with the price I paid for these. Roosevelt silver dimes are getting harder to find every day so you almost have to buy these if you want them in your possession. I hunt for them all the time and I think the days of finding one per box of $250 worth of coins is long gone.


I'll keep trying to get lucky though. Hopefully this spring and summer I can get to my banks more often and go through some full dime boxes. I'll be sure to post my finds here if I get lucky.

Three Silver Eisenhower Dimes 1964 And 1963 No Mint Marks I Bought At The Fleamarket





  Here are three Eisenhower silver dimes I recently bought at a local flea market. I bought these about a week ago but I'm just now getting them up on the blog. I'm taking this image with my Android phone so the images are not nearly as good quality as when I used the scanner. None of these silver dimes have mint marks so there's no need to take images of the back sides. I believe that means they were all minted at the Philadelphia mint.



As you can tell these are all pretty worn. They're definitely in circulated condition, I would say very well circulated. The dates we have are two 1964's no mint mark and one 1963 with no mint mark. All three are 90% silver coins. 


I'm buying these because I want to have a fair amount in my possession when I start having giveaways and contests. My plan is to have at least several hundred Eisenhower silver dimes. But I won't get into detail about that right now because I still have a lot of work to do getting this blog together and getting about four or five other blogs together that will support both my hobby and my contest.
