This is one of them.

This is an 1894-S Proof Dime.
"The rarest dime ever minted."
It can fit into the same category as the 1913 nickel and the 1804 dollar.
There were only 24 minted and only 14 went into circulation.
Only 9 are known to exist.
In a 1945 auction one sold for $2,350, a huge sum at the time.
As usual Heritage adds its colorful description as, "All of the prooflike characteristics of high-end 1894-S dimes
are beautifully rendered and preserved.
Attractive original toning accents deeply reflective fields with
flakes of yellow-gold, lilac, mint-green, and blue, while razor-sharp devices
contrast against the fields with subtle mint frost."
That is quite a description.

GOLD AND SILVER
______________________________________
AS OF SUNDAY
AUGUST 9, 2020
GOLD AU: $2034.80 One week ago it was: $1976.10 Change: +3.0%
SILVER AG: $28.32 One week ago it was: $24.47 Change: +15.7%
We remain in the black for yet another week. Gold was up 3.9% last week and now it hit another intraday high of 2059 before settling in at a 3.0% increase. And don't take your eye off silver as it did even better, rising $3.85, or a whopping 15.7%. Covid and the economy are the big unknowns right now. And what will happen this week we can only speculate. Most analysts see continued increases in these metals. But there is a caution out there that when you see numbers rise so fast it usually means a correction. Where are you placing your money ... er, gold.
