I found a 1964 silver Roosevelt dime in pocket change about three weeks
ago. Means something, since those coins were all recalled when the clad
ones were brought out. I suppose a recall like that can enhance a TAQ,
though, as this recent experience proves, it's not absolute.

My best find in circulation was a 1890s vintage dime in an apple machine
in
junior high school in 1960. Out in the field, the oldest surface find
was a
1943 half dollar, quarter, and some dimes along with two spent shotgun
shells. I
interretted this find to represent one excited hunter who whipped out
two new
shotgun loads and a pocket full of change in the heat of the hunt. The
oldest
coin I exposed was an 18th century 1 reale from the floor of a room near
the
chapel of the 1769-1835 Royal Presidio de San Diego.
