Rolled up to an out of towner cherry picking. He left w 3 merc dimes, lucky!

Grabbed a ton of clad, but my favs are the 1915 or 1917 wheatie and my first merc dime!

Edit: what is that copper star? Its a pin. No idea how old it is as the pins still attached on the back

Jokes on me. Turns out its a 1 Escudo from Portugal. The 1 under the grime looked like the torch of a merc. Shoot.

Looking at the Girl scouts logo the pin has the same shape as their logo but I didn't see any matches for that. Not the outer part of the pin but the inner part of the pin is where I see the resemblance to the G.S.A. logo.
