It always amazes me how many "first silvers" are Merc (Winged Liberty) dimes. My first and second silver coins were both Winged Liberty dimes. I was thrilled after digging clad for months. The following day I found a Barber dime and didn't even know what it was called 
Congrats on your first silver coin!

Congrats on your 1st silver coin! I love mercs, my 2nd silver coin was a merc, but it's the 1 that made me officially a detectorist, in my book, I love those mercury dimes! Welcome to Tnet!

Congrats on the 1st silver (a sweet Merc). 
You will remember exactly where you pulled it for the rest of your life. The Merc was my second silver and I can take you right to the spot where I pulled it. It was only 2 inches down at a local state park. Welcome to the obsession...

Congrats on your first silver, a Sweet merc at that!!
Can't say my first silver was a merc, took me forever to find my first silver dime. When I did find my first silver dime it was a two merc spill. Love the Mercs!!
