Hi All,
In addition to cents I will occasionally go through dimes. Imagine my surprise when this gem showed up from a bag of dimes from the local bank! Condition is fantastic- in fact the fields are slightly mirrored; anyone know if that'd be from the original strike or perhaps it being an impaired proof?

Excellent find.

I have not found anything that old in a bank bag yet. I come across alot of novelty stuff to make up for it.

Local community bank- only 4 branches.

Excellent find.

Believe it or not, my oldest find is this guy (below) - a 1782 half reale- also in a dime bag, a few years ago.


That is a nice find.

Yes, it does- something look wrong to you?

My bank has a coin counter and they allow me to buy full bags from it. This is also where 2 of my 3 1984 DDO #1 cents came from.

Check your bank(s) to see if they have counters; if they do, you may have to do some explaining to the vault teller or manager but you'll probably be able to buy bags after promising not to complain if they're short.

I think that the color is throwing off everyone. I would get it graded for it starts to jump in price about the MS 60 area and your coin looks to be at least a MS-62 if not higher.

If the value exceeds over $200.00, encapsulate that little puppy.
