Any day you find silver is a GREAT DAY.

KUDOS on two shinny spots of silver.

Nice find, for sure. I am impressed by the condition of the Mercury dime--it must have been in an environment that was particularly kind to silver. It really looks to be in outstanding condition. I have always loved the Mercury dime, yet have never found one (yet!).
