I found my first silver while sorting pennies. I had a mercury dime land in the zinc reject pile. I've found several dimes but was surprised to see a silver mercury in my pennies.
Congrats on the find. Finding silver in your penny rolls puts you in a very select club. Finding a Mercury puts you in an even more select group. I have only found one Mercury in all my penny rolls.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

I know it is the bags counted and sorted by the bank, but what does it stand for.
Super Duper Congrats on that awesome find!!! Really nice.
Could the CWR when used with bags also refer to "Customer Wrapped Rolls" to let the coin service know how the bank obtained the coins in the bag? Just a thought.

Thats an awsome find. I was going to ask if it was tarished black to be mistaken for a penny until I saw it was a merc! Nobody can be foolish enough to confuse lady liberty with ole Abe!!
I myself just found a silver dime in a bag of pennies, but to find that in a roll is just plain lucky. What year is it?
CWR could also be hand wrapped by a teller. After $1000 in dimes at least you are 5 silvers ahead - better then my luck.
