Silver coin purchase price locally is $2.00 a coin for a grand total of $2274. My wife about feinted when she found out. First words out of my daughter's mouth was "new computer!".And to think we had no idea about these dimes until I read this post. All the dimes are worn, most are difficult to determine dates and impossible to see if any are "D"s or "S"s. As collector coins, worthless. But at current silver prices? A windfall. Tomorrow I'm going down and change them in. The wife and I are gonna put $1000 in daughter's bank account and the rest she can spend on a computer and clothes (she'll be 16 next month...what else would she want?).I am so friggin glad I joined this forum!</blockquote>
