A Rare Find Of a Dime

[Obsessive]

Haven't posted in a bit but I'd been on a pretty good streak this year with every hunt producing at least a few silver coins or silver jewelry.

Then a few weeks ago I dug up this King of Key Dates, a 1916 D Mercury dime... I's not in the best shape but my LCS verified it as legit.

I've been petty excited over it, but I'm afraid it ended my lucky streak for the year. I haven't found anything worth a darn since.

Anyway, thought I'd share this here and maybe y'all can help me get back on a good streak with some good wishes. I still haven't found any gold this year and I'm hoping to end my dry spell like a champ. 😁

Hah! Was wondering if I'd come across any common community members.

And thank you. It's definitely my best find in the few years I've been in this hobby, and probably going to be tough for me to beat.

Thanks! I was pretty thrilled to find a Merc at the site I was on. So you can understand my excitement when I realized what it was.
