Went to the credit union to get rid of my zincs, they have coin machine that is no cost to members, and when I checked the coin return there sits a nice 46 Roosevelt dime. 
When I intially picked it up I felt a sharp edge on it and after closer exam it appears to be solder marks at the 12,3,6 & 9 positons. Apparently it was in a piece of jewelery at one time and someone must really need the cash.
$50 piece of jewelery, neat.
$1.25 melt, neater
Now it's mine, priceless.

Yep. And they got nothing for it. I guess they didn't know what it was. I'd at least wonder why a dime was in a setting before I put it in a change machine.
Good for you. Every bit counts.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

| Someone at a coin show told me that they once found 12 1943 pennies in a coin stars reject bin. Ever since then I always check. |
