silver dime in change twice in the last week

BBN

I haven't gotten silver anything in change in nearly 10 years and got a 1964 dime last week in change and another 1964 dime last night in change. One was a convenience store the other was one of those nearly extinct corner markets with the concrete floor that specialize in selling meats. Both places here in town. Unfortunately I was a long way away from both of them before I realized I got silver in change and wasn't where I could go back to see if they had more. Crazy it happened twice within a week. Maybe someone got thieved and the criminal scattered the change throughout town? Maybe just dumb luck? who knows.

It's pretty cool to score two silver dimes in a week. I picked up one last year at the local bank, but it was probably five or six years since I had found one before then.

Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket...sounds like you're on a roll!

The last silver dime I got was from my sister in 1998. She found a Merc in change and gave it to me; it was a 38 S in VF.

My best find ever wasn't a coin. I was in Spain in the early 70s and had Thomas Cook's Traveler's Cheques, denominated in U.S. dollars. As Thomas Cook was / is an English company, and far more Brits visited Spain versus Americans, I cashed a $50 TC into pesetas, and the clerk gave 50 English Pounds of pesetas (about $130 US at the time). In that time period, I was comfortably living on $7-$8 daily, so that was a real score.

I received a Merc (42) in change about four weeks ago... about a 40.... that was nice. Cheers, RickO
