Some lucky people are walking down the street and happen to have the luck of stumbling across a lone paper dollar.

Today, I became one of those lucky people.

Around 5 minutes ago, my wallet fell off the counter. Coins rolled out. I cursed fluently in human tongue. While picking up my change, I happened to notice that one of the dimes looked a little bit different. When I looked at it closer, I noticed it was not an ordinary dime. This was a silver clad Rooseveldt 1952 Dover printed dime. It was in almost MS condition. Today, I consider myself truly fortunate.

And yes, no one here probably gives a shit.

Have you found out if it's worth anything?

How'd it get there in the first place?

It was from my last purchase at the mobil station. Shortly after noticing the coin, I began to overexamine the rest of the loose change scattered across my floor.

P.S. I am a super-nerdo-geeko-freeko coin abbot. I love coins.

Highly doubtable. ::opens up Roosevelt Dime coin book::

Blegh, 1952-D had 122.1 million printed, whereas 1952 had 99.1 million and 1952-S had only 44.4 million. Still though, an interesting find as the government stopped minting silver clad dimes in 1965.
