Found a 1916 D Mercury Dime

[bigolhorns]

I'm in shock! Found today with my Fisher CZ-3D in an old football field. Sorry for the pic quality. I have not cleaned it, this is how it came out of the ground.

Don't scrub or polish it with anything. Hold it by the edges and blast it with hard running water from the faucet--With the drain PLUGGED.

THAT IS ONE HECK OF A COIN!


Looks like it will grade F or VF.

Congratulations that is the one we're all looking for

 

[MrBling]

Wow!
Don't do anything to it
Place it only on a soft surface like a towel-handle it only by the edge, and as little as possible
Look into having it professionally cleaned and graded
I see diagonal bands- so I agree with BuckleBoy - looks like Fine or Very Fine grade=$$$$
That is a fantastic score. Congrats

I live in Denver, and I can't find one of them thangs. Damn! Be real nice to it, that thing is worth some serious bucks! I salute you!

 

[starwarsblazer]

That is fantastic! And like the others, handle it by the edge and I would get that graded. Congrats!
