<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WarNickelFinder, post: 1084348, member: 28662&quot;]Probably my most interesting find came eight years ago.&nbsp; At the time, I was in seventh grade and when our lunch wave let out, I would look around for any loose change anybody left behind (I think I found a total of about $15 by June).&nbsp; I noticed a dime in some ketchup, so I picked it up and cleaned the ketchup off.&nbsp; I look at the dime and see that it didn&#039;t have FDR on it; I thought it was weird-looking.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I got back to class and showed my teacher, who told me that it was a Mercury dime (it was a 1942, BTW).&nbsp; I&#039;ve held onto it ever since and it remains the only Merc I own.&nbsp; I&#039;d say this find is my most valuable one from my formative years, beating out a $5 bill I found during recess when I was in fifth grade (I got to keep it after nobody claimed it at the end of the year.&nbsp; I found the bill and turned it into the lost &amp; found the previous week).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
