liberty dime

I found another silver dime yesterday, half buried next to a tree in front of a church. This one's a bit older - date minted was 1944 - and its a Liberty head dime. For all you young whippersnappers (including me), here's a picture of

one. (not a pic I took, I can't focus it enough using my little digital camera). Its a little grungy, but the relief is nice on it - only the E Plurbis Unum is faint.

I also looked at my PTO accrual as I was figuring out the percent on my 403B. 255 hrs. I'm waiting for HR to bring the hammer down. I could call in sick for a few days.

Finally, I'm working on my FCC list. Have about 8 that I'd like to follow, so 2 more and I'm done. Thank you scfr for a couple of more ideas.

I've been saving relatively crisp $1s and a couple of $5s for the Vietnam trip. So far I have about $30. Because I'm saving for the trip, I've decided to slow down the tip box savings, and return to it in March. I'm now reading and taking notes in a notebook, to bring on the trip.

    I've found 3 dimes this last month, which is a bonanaza for me. Unfortunately none were liberty Smile Congrats

    Are liberty dimes more valuable? If so, is there an easy way to cash in on that value?

    Liberty dimes are made of silver, so the silver content makes the dime worth about $1.50. Probably the easiest way is the coin shop, using the coin version of the Blue Book price. There's a blue book (price the dealer will give you) and a red book (price the dealer will charge should you want to buy) prices on coins.

    I don't know whether I'd want to sell it - I think its just neat to have a coin minted during WWII, or before the Depression, or during the Depression.
