<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimefreak, post: 949346, member: 24267&quot;]Well according to Hallie Daggett the daughter of the superintendent of the S mint at the time. Her father was entertaining 7 guest that were bankers and had the 24 dimes minted to give 3 to each of them including young Hallie. Apparently Hallie used one on ice cream and then sold the other 2 in the 50&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea that they were struck to balance the books can be put to rest by the simple fact that the dies were specially prepared and the coins were well struck. One would assume that if they were just trying to balance the books they wouldn&#039;t have taken the time to make proof like examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
