No, it was an AU-58 (with green corrosion), which everybody knows is the next grade from an MS-63. oly |

If you mean that you are getting one silver dime for every 60 searched, that would be spectacular. I have fiound two silver dimes in change during the last year (and one of those by searching a pile of change that an older person had saved for the last several years). oly |

The only silver coins I still get is halves (or halfs if you prefer), usually 40%er's. |
