Kinda-sorta semi-key date silver Roosevelt found in circulation!

[twistidd]

I had to use the company SUV today, which is shared between myself and a few others throughout the week. At a red light, I glanced into the center cupholder which doubles as a change holder. Right there on top, amongst the zinc pennies and nickel or two, was a 1949 dime. I am not a regular CRH'er, but I do check my change every time it is there, and have never found a silver dime. I took the dime and flipped it over and saw that it is an "S" mint. Cool! Only about 13 and a half million were minted...OK, so it might not be that special, but it was the second-least minted variety of Roosevelt dime between 1946 and 1964 (about 13 million 1955's [no mintmark] were produced).

OK, so it isn't a 1700's silver or LC or anything, but it made my day, between monotonous projects. Not in the best condition, it is clearly circulated, but it is MINE!! Mwuahahahaha....!!!!

Joe,
I haven't been Treasure hunting for long, but my joy with my finds at the time seems somewhat influenced by my expectations of the site I am at. For instance if I found a handful of wheaties at the park est in 1945 by my house, I'd be elated. If all I found at that 1830's house were wheat pennies I'd be deflated.
If I found a 1949 -s dime in the company car, I'd be through the roof! Congrats on being observant. I hope your coworkers don't want their dime back.

I like the way you think.

In regards to the unlikely possibility that a coworker would want the dime back, I say, if someone was conscious that said dime was silver, he would not have left it in the cupholder. I did go through the liberty of replacing the silver Rosey with a clad Rosey

Something tells me you're gonna have a roll of Roosevelts before the years done. Maybe I'll start calling you FDR?
