Found this in a roll of dimes (Bank-rolled "Shotgun" Wrap) along with a 1964 Silver Dime yesterday. Thought it was foreign until I rubbed off some gunk off it.


(Canadian Cent in pic for scale.)
Hmmmm.... I can only guess how it got past the bank counters.

WOW! It's fantastic to find a Hawaiian silver dime.
Most of these were withdrawn and melted. Congrats! |

Technically, this is more rare than a 1916D Mercury dime. |
