Went to the woods last Thursday and among many goodies, I managed to retrieve this nicely detailed 1929 Mercury dime. I can't believe the sharp details in this rare piece. It looks BU to me! :headbang:

Also found a wheaty of the same year!!!!

Yeah! I can't believe the preservation state of it. Also, I was first debating whether it was a rather 1920, for the 9 was so close to the edge that it looks kind of deformed. What do you think?
 
Oh ya , she sure shines. Good dig. :headbang:

Really impressed by it. Can't stop staring at it. Thanks 4 looking
 
great save. Looks better out of the ground I believe.
 
Great detail. You can count the rods in the fasces. I am constantly amazed at the conditions of these dug silver coins.

Congradulations!!

I've been careful of that, but sometimes when it is a pocket spill one or two coins get touched by my digger. :dontknow:
