Oh I did not post to graded lol. Just thought looked pretty good being in someone’s pockets. The other ones I found in the past, was sitting in my dad’s coins. Thank you. I was two years old lol!
Sorry. I see it’s the date that is ‘65. The copper-nickel alloy is very durable. These coins last much longer than the old silver alloy. The Swiss have issued nickel coins that look like Mint State pieces for years.
No need to be sorry. Y’all are the pros lol. I’m the.. lol! I just know that 65s don’t pop up too much. I really think people are turning in their change. My husband said that people are coming in to buy things like cigarettes… Cashier asks him can they take change? Lol! I mean really! That’s like going to a bank and cash a check and they say no! Lol. Thanks again.
As a long time collector, I can understand the fascination with 58 year old coins. When I was young collector in the mid 1960s, finding a 58 year old dime in circulation would have been a big deal to me because it would have had this design. Unfortunately, Mr. Roosevelt has probably been with us for too long, and the allure of an old design is not in the cards. And, I explained before, the copper-nickel coins stand up better than the silver ones did.
On the reverse of the first photo, just above the A looks like the possible beginning of a CUD. Maybe it's just me.
They minted a bazillion of them ... well 929 million. Trying to replace all the silver dimes people were saving. Even today, quite common.
Unless any of the Cupro-Nickel coins are exposed to environmental exposure or harsh chemicals. The copper tones to a very unsightly appearance When I metal detect silver alloy coins that have been buried for decades even over 100 years they look like they were placed in the found spot the day before They clean up much easier also. Here's an example, a 1853 Seated Quarter I detected once.. And here are recent detected Cupro-Nickel coins
Silver is chemically less reactive that copper-nickel, but copper-nickel is harder. Silver fares better in the ground, but copper-nickel lasts longer in circulation.
