    Hello all, I was at a store, and as change, the cashier gave me this coin, along with others that were newer.

    It's a 1958 dime.

    idk anything about coins, and figured you all might know what it's worth

    it is a dime, minted in denver in 1958. so it contains silver. probably you could sell it for 90 cents. and as far as how you got it, perhaps you gave tmi for what reason?????

    Now I'm curious what the TMI was lol. How do you give too much info when talking about a silver dime?

    The OP changed it to better reflect 1950s appropriate wording, and I don't think I need to say what it was. For those on here who may be less than adult age, it was more appropriate to be less descriptive....

    Welcome to CT. It's worth about a dollar due to the silver content in the coin.

    You seem to have forgotten your shirt. This is a PG rated site, thank you in advance for understanding.

    Most circulated and common silver dimes are worth melt value.
    Somewhere in the $1 range. (Currently as high as $1.15 if you could get 100% of melt.) But as was mentioned, a gold/silver guy would buy it for .90 cents and sell it for $1.25. So It doesn't matter what the price is, they buy under spot and sell over spot.

    Thank you all for helping me! I'm new to coin collecting and I hope to collect many more from now on.

    Idk it was made from silver, and I'm thrilled to know that now!

    Even though it ain't worth much, I find it priceless to myself.

    No! It's just below the line of the photo

    If you really want a racy avatar on here, this one is more appropriate:

    In other words, the photo shows no shirt.

    I forgot, the D is from Denver. Since you got this in change it only cost you a dime so since it's priceless to you, tuck it away and enjoy it.

    It's a nice find for a newbie. :)

    I’d like to agree with you, but then I’m afraid we’d both be wrong.

    2. Keep it clean, like a 1950s family television show.


    Personally, your avatar, where it shows (presumably, but not definitely) you in a come hither pose and one that show enough skin and no apparent clothing, enough for some adults to question the use of a shirt, tends to be seen as not 1950s tv appropriate. And in line with what I called you out on, can be seen as jointly more 'adult' content.
