    I have one of these on the way in the mail, just learned about them yesterday. I have collected coins my whole life and never once heard of these!!

    What's interesting is the dime in the case is from 1966, and these were normally only silver dimes, so I'm curious to learn more about what happened with the one coming my way. Even if someone swapped out the coin, this is costing me nothing but time, and I made .10. :)

    I have one lying around somewhere. If I find it, I'll check the date.

    Miracles do happen @Tiquer . While looking for an unrelated item, I found my irradiated dime. 1954:
