Found the other day in my front yard. 1943, looks like someone just dropped it it was so clean, about 3 inches down. As soon as I saw it, I knew right away I'd finally hit big. Now on to the elusive V Nickel!

Congrats! The Mercury Dime has been elusive to me...in fact, all silver and gold! How many coins do I have to hunt for before I qualify for such a great find! Just one silver coin is all I ask...ONE! I'd find it, smoke a cigarette with satisfaction and call it a day!

really nice. Congratulations. The Mercury dime is one of my all time favorite coins. It's just a great design.

When you do find that one (and you will if you just keep digging), you'll be really excited. Then, you'll want to find another, and another, and another, and..........
