A55M0NKEY's Journal: I am one lucky bastard!

I am one lucky bastard! I found a 1964 silver Roosevelt dime today ( I think FDR's the guy on dimes that looks kinda like the pope ) I got it in change for a soda. Suckers! I used to look for silver dimes often when I worked as a cashier back in 1992, and never found one all summer. I have only ever found one other one when I was like 8 years old dispite looking every so often at any dimes I might happen to have. That makes this is a monumentally rare, fortunate and auspicious event! Even better than a fortune cookie because you don't have to eat it!

You know you are on a winning streak when you get a dime that's probably worth 4 times face value! That's right a 40 cent dime! Yeah, I'm sure gonna buy a lottery ticket on the way home from work tonight! Momma needs a new pair of shoes!

Charmed - that's me! Cool as ICE!

I once found a "Mercury" dime

Before FDR was on the dime, it used to be a silver coin with Mercury "the winged messenger" on it. I was looking for one of those for a long time, and eventually gave up. Then one day I just happened to find it in some loose change. Love days like that.
