Yesterdays change find...much better than average
Greetings!
My wife works at a convience store/gas station combo and as such gets to handle a lot of change. I've shown her how to quickly spot silver by looking at the edges of the coins and she's got pretty good at it. Last night, when she delivered her haul, I noted a 1965 dime in there. Fortunately, I checked it before I mentioned her "oops". Good thing. Because I now own a 1965 dime struck on a silver planchat. WaHoo! Anybody know what that's worth? It grades VF. Bruce |

Did you already use up your 4 freebie PCGS slabs? There is a nice little vacation in that dime. -- davewang202(at)yahoo(dot)com |

I suspect my selection of coins just changed. Well, I'd rather spend it on a half cent than a vacation...but the wife will certainly want the latter.

PCGS AU58 "Rare 1965 Dime struck on a silver planchet" Realized $8913. PCGS pop is 75, and NGC pop is 3. They're all UNC's though. Still, the dearth of circ's may mean that the price roll off for your VF coin shouldn't be too bad. So I have the only "affordable" example. :-) Send an email to CONECA, http://www.conecaonline.org and/or Ken Potter, who used to read r.c.c. Judging from the number of circ's in the PCGS report, finding the 1965 dime struck on silver planchet is a very rare event, and I'm sure they'd love to hear about it. -- davewang202(at)yahoo(dot)com |

Bruce Outstanding, Bruce! Simply outstanding! Not only for hitting the Coin Lottery, but for the excellent observational powers that extended beyond 'reading the date'. I'm very pleased for you! Will I be seeing your name in CW now? Alan 'will trade you a 1962 Roosevelt for it' |

Well, I lost any posts from about this post until this morning so I don't know what anybody else posted, if anything. I've tried taking photos of it, but it just looks like a 1965 dime, I can't get the clad and silver to show differently under my lights. Ultimately, it's heading to ANACS but I'll be keeping it raw to show for awhile. Bruce |
