I have a 1942 dime that my dad gave me when I was about 10. Not worth anything to most people but it's probably the only thing I have left that he gave me sadly. As he has now been gone many more years than I knew him. I lost him in 1994 when I was 17. And only realized a few years ago that I still had that dime. I'm going to send it to pcgs with a sub someday. It is probably VG. But that is the only dime I have that he gave me. It is in my safe with that story written with it for now. He kept change in a baby food jar in the closet. I saw it sticking out the side one day. It was the first mercury dime I ever saw. I asked him what it was and he showed me and gave it to me. It was about 1986 and I was 10... how I still have it after all these years I'll never even know. It came with me in my car when I made my journey from Illinois to New Hampshire. I had forgotten about it until I found it. I don't even know really how it made it here with me...[/QUOTE]
