Since I've been checking Coinstar machines, I've cashed in the clad finds and bought Mercury dimes with the money at the end of each year. Since 2016 this is how many I've been able to buy.

This is not a date and mint collection. It is just common date mercs that I've bought with Coinstar money.

I've gotten a few in the past but most of the Coinstar silver dimes are Roosevelts.

Its Very impressive when a guy thinks about it...free 'reject tray' money converted to Mercs!...A very creative strategy for a guy to score some Merc silver!
