You got yourself the rarest mercury dime in the collection, only 250,000 were made and are rare and expensive.That one you got there i would class it as AU-50.but i looked at the back and it doesnt have double bars and you scrathced it so i would bump it down one grade to EF-40. So you have yourself a coin worth about 2,750 dollars. You are extremely lucky to have found that in a park.

Awesome coin! Even w/ nicks and cleaning, this is still worth $$$. Tough lesson, though. Great find!

Youre wrong there, if he cleaned it, it would of brought the value down a shitload and the fact it doesnt have double bars and theirs nicks in it. its not worth as much as it would of. if he hadnt of cleaned it i would grade it as EF-40, but since he cleaned it i would drop the grade to VF-20. and if didnt have any knicks or if he hadnt cleaned it i would have no doubt it would be AU-50 which is worth 9,000 dollars but now its only worth 1,500 dollars because he cleaned it and knicked it.
