Nice find! I check every date of every coin I come across and have yet to find any silver in my change. You're lucky, you should test your luck and play the lotto!!

no luck in the lotto for me, out of the 2 years I've been at this job I've come across 2 silver quarters and this silver dime, although the last scratcher I bought for 1 dollar I got 15 back out of it

i didnt take it but I did find something odd, it was a 1984 quarter that seemed to be silver clad because it had that black toning to it that silver gets over time, I thought they stopped doing clad after 1970

Maybe it was missing the clad layer?

Black toning on cupronickel can result from being buried, or from sitting at the bottom of a chlorinated pool or fountain for a while.

that could be a possibility too, does that also give it the feel of silver clad?
