Darn S Mint

[RONC(OR)]

Hi all
Went on a road trip today with Neil and Richard . Had a great time weather was warm in the 60's My First dig of the day was a 1916 Merc this is the second one I have found this year and both are in nice shape .To bad there both S mints but still nice finds .Also found a 42s Merc and a 46s Rosie and 1 wheat we all had a good time and that's what counts HH RonC

Nice silver and you had a blast finding them ! The S on a 1916 Merc may mean" sorry" . Imagine ,you live closer to Denver and all 1916 dimes ,you find, are "all San Fran" . Probably happens alot .

I was really pulling for you with the 1916 Merc dime.
Even though it was a "s" mintmark, it is still in very
good shape. Congrats on the sweet silver finds and
the next one you find will probably be the "d" mintmark.

WOOHOO Ron ~ very nice finds today! Too bad that 1916 Merc wasn't a "D" mint! Still a super find! CONGRAT'S!!

I know how you feel, I dug two 1916 mercs myself this year, one a SF mint, the other no mint mark

Hummm I know the feeling found my first this yr. My buddy found 4 1916-S but no D's whats up with that I live one state away from Denver. They must of been on hold or something

Oh man, so close. Congrats on the silver finds anyway.

Nice silver, Ron! Isn't that your second 1916 merc for the year? Hope the weather holds out for you guys. Its been nice here the last two days. Today is my only day off for the week and its really starting to look ugly out there. I'm planning a hunt in about an hour, if the weather holds.

good diggins Ron and what a nice day to do it in.

Nice finds!
I found a 1916-S last year.
The worse thing was being able to see the mintmark, but not being able to see if it was a D or S until I got home!
Time for glasses!
At least it's in good shape.
Congrats!

Still a good looking coin even if it is an S mint

Congratulations
