Annie! :) The Draped Bust far, far out-weighs the Merc dime! Many never find a Draped Bust cent...Mercs (or winged liberty dimes as they are really known as) as are a relatively commonplace find. Regardless.....congrats!! ;)

Congrats on the Merc Annie, but the 1803 Draped Bust Cent is what put you in the Kool Kids Klub!
