Found in pocket change

Some of you have mentioned dropping coins into circulation to create interest among newbies, so I thought you might find it interesting that I recieved this 1970-S dime in change at my local Subway sandwich shop.
Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

  • Forgive my ignorance; I am still learning.

    What is special about a 1970 S dime? Inquiring minds want to know!

    They were only issued in Proof Sets.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Cool find! I used to find proof coins in change from the school cafeteria. I think I still have a circulated '72-S cent and '74-S quarter.

    I've found afew proof coins myself in change.
  • I've got an awsome 80 or 81 S Suzy that i got from a bank about 5/6 years ago. The best part, it's got a nice Cameo look to it!!!!

    (but it wasn't a clear S, unfortunatly)
