[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 10099509, member: 10461"]I'll take the opposite, optimistic route, and say that it was [I]destiny[/I], and that needs to be your lucky pocket piece from now until you lose it! ;) I had the same thing happen to me with a silver dime I found in a parking lot in 1980. It was a 1959-D dime, as I recall. While I was excited to find silver in the wild like that, the reverse of it was complete roadkill from the asphalt, making it a rather unmistakable coin. Then I lost it, apparently, and eight or nine years later found it in North Carolina, while helping a friend roll her change up to take to the bank. It was in her big coin jug.

When I expressed my amazement at finding the same dime (silver, no less), over that span of time and space, she looked at me like I was a species of nerd she had never before encountered. (Which I was.) After all, who remembers the individual dimes they lost years earlier, right? I have no idea what finally became of the roadkill 1959-D dime. It eventually vanished again. Will it ever turn back up? That would be spooky and exciting.[/QUOTE]
