My Lucky Day (you dweeb!)....

I found a 1954 dime in my pocket change yesterday. Why's that lucky? Well if say you had an interest in numismatics when you were a kid, then you'd realize how rare that is. See, the last year the government made coins (dimes, quarters, half dollars, dollars) out of real silver was 1963. So anything that year or before was more valuable than its face, basically, and real silver coins vanished from circulation pretty much by 1970. I can't remember the last time I got one in circulation (though earlier this year I got a 1936 Buffalo nickel at the newsstand out here.) And sure enough, yesterday saw some major press breaks for our clients. Coincidence?
