In the library. A bunch of library books spread out around the table in front of me. Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either, but for once I was enjoying doing research. The irony. If only my dad realized that it wasn’t all his lectures but his colossal eff-up that finally inspired me to sit in the library and do research. That and Dianne. I’d looked into it and there was no case for the kitchen staff. If the school was in this kind of deep financial doo-doo, even the union couldn’t help Dianne. Thankfully there was a Plan A. Apparently there were some serious errors going on in 1983 with the Roosevelt dimes—no mint marks, two years running. Another option was the Lincoln double ear, a penny where the Lincoln head had an extra lobe due to a two-timing die strike. Pretty hot, but it was only worth $250, and that was for the very best examples. A 1950 S over D dime could fetch $500 and up. There was a Wisconsin state quarter with a misplaced leaf (it could be either high or low, according to The Frohman’s Field Guide to Coin Collecting).
