Looks like an FS-504 and perhaps an XF40. Probably under $15. Then, that is just an opinion. Nice find. Keep searching, tons of RPM's and OMM's out there. Good luck.

Nice find... Looks like a 40... Cheers, RickO
I have two 1959-D dimes. One was found as a Coinstar machine reject. The other came out of a vending machine that does not deal with dimes, neither dispensing them as change nor accepting them for a purchase. I had put $2 in currency in the machine, made my selection for $1.25 and the machine kicked out 3 quarters plus the dime as change.The dime flew out of the change bin and hit the concrete floor the vending machine rested on. I knew immediately it was a silver from the sound it made. The 1959-D dime must have gotten wedged between the quarters when the change slots were loaded by the vending machine man. I collect 1959-D dimes now and eagerly await my third find. Finding a 1959-D/D would be like the holy grail of my 1959-D dime collection.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
That's a good one!
