so i picked up $200 today in dimes from the bank. Got home and opened up the first roll. To the coin i have always wanted A MERCURY DIME!! I know it isn't the find of the year or anything but it will make me happy for the week thats for sure. BTW it is a 1941, it is dirty but has more of the detail. I also found a 1949 and a 64 silver dime to add to my collection. Overall one awesome day to say the least. I am soaking the mercury dime in veg. oil right now. anything else i should do to clean it?

Congrats, Laptop. If you want a faster way to clean that merc. get a bowl line it with foil spread acouple tablespoons of salt in there place the merc in and dump boiling water over it all.
Let the water cool then do the same thing again until it is as clean as you want it.
