Found this 1917 Mercury Dime yesterday. Is it just me or does the date look kinda funny?

Nice find! Hard to tell from the pic, worn around the edge? I found my first Mercury dime last Sun.(1917 as well). My dime is very worn around the whole edge.

Great dig, WTG!!!
The dates always look funny to me, I need a magnifying glass to see them...
Good luck, Happy hunting~

Nice find.i also found a 1917 merc.The date is the same way.Is there a mint mark on the back

Cant tell looks like the back is really worn. Maybe like it laid face down for a while close to the surface.
