The bank just gave me a 1963 d dime!

Silver! He told me if I have a dime I'll make your day. I said I have all my change in a jar at home. I have gave him a dollar and gave me change back and handed me a silver dime! I said thank you so much! He said I told you I'd make your day.

Miss Shrews.... I believe the coin Gods are smiling favorably on you. Nice find!

 

Thank you!!! I'm so happy. My very first silver dime.

 

Nice! You have a teller pulling strings for you. I found two silver dimes waiting for me in the coin return tray at a coinstar a while back. Always a bonus eventhough junk silver dimes are only worth 80 cents.

 

Sending you a virtual spanking for using your fingers.

 

Lol. How am I supposed to hold it???

 

Plastic tweezers my dear girl.

 

With your bare (clean) fingers, but only the edges. However, this is a general "rule" that doesn't logically apply to all coins. Let's be honest here: the coin has been handled many, many times in its past so touching the surfaces isn't going to make any real difference. Please understand this is in no way a knock upon the coin, but only accepting reality.

I also have to disagree with Tommy (respectfully, of course) regarding the use of tweezers. While it may seem like a good idea, the loss of dexterity even from using gloves has caused many a fine coin to suffer an unfortunate fate, and the same certainly holds true for tweezers. However, and as with so much in this hobby, how one handles coins is a personal decision with no right or wrong about it.

As an aside, you've come a long way in your short time here. It's been a pleasure to see and I offer a heartfelt kudos for all your efforts!

 

I am so happy that people still find silver in circulation - I haven't seen any in years upon years upon years... nice find and congrats for the silver FDR!

 

I was in a Majik Market in 1974 when I just started collecting that year. There were two guys in front of me and when one of them got his change he said "a war nickel!" And the other one said: "and it's a proof!" The second guy even took a flip out of his wallet to put the nickel in. It was a very depressing spectacle. Why didn't I get that nickel instead of these two Geeks? I didn't even have a flip in my wallet to put a coin in.

I doubt that I went back to that store (it's an independent now) more than four or five times since 1974. But I went in there last year and got a 1945P war nickel in change. What are odds on that? What are the odds of three people in line in 1974 all being coin collectors?

Enjoy your dime OP. Circulation finds are always a lot of fun.

 

Any day with silver is a good one.

 

nice one! - a dollar worth of silver there

 

Be careful of this fellow. His intentions are not honorable.........

 

But I bet you had a condom...........

 

What man has honorable intentions today? From what I hear we're all filth...

 

If I was dating today, I'd be walking out of the room 'backwards'..........

 

Nice find for face value. Keep those bank tellers happy!

 

Fine start, but I suspect you'd want to wear some sort of full-body surveillance, both audio and video, as well. Sadly, even this may not be enough to protect oneself...

Oh, what wonderful times we live in.

 

Well, celibacy comes to mind, but even those guys are in trouble.......

 

LOL.......you guys gotta see this........
