1916 Merc in Father's collection- Warning, Not for the Faint of Heart
Looking through my fathers small coin collection he's had since he was a boy, I came across a 1916 Mercury dime. He went on to tell me that as a kid, they liked to take a mallot and see how big they could make coins, if they werent putting them on the trolley tracks.
Maybe it's a blessing I can't make out the mintmark, huh?
