When I viewed the dime in this thread, I could not help but remember a clipping I had seen in a coin magazine about 35 - 40 years ago.
There was a person who advertised the following: "For one dollar, I will sell you a silver 'schooner'. Limited supply available"
Apparently people wanting to buy a 'silver schooner' received a dime. The seller was making a 900% profit and apparently sold quite a few of them before he was nabbed by the fraud squad.
