Got out for an hour and a half hunt today at a local park, got a strange signal and was suprised to find a Mercury dime in the hole, the back was kinda dark but I put it away until I got home, when I looked at it again, I realized why the reverse was so dark, somehow someone ground down a wheat penny and slabbed the back of it onto the merc! I think it was meant to be a trick coin, any other ideas? Oh yeah, also got my first buff today:thumbsup:

I guess I can say it's like getting a Hobo Nickel up here, it's not going to happen. It's a different find and that's what cool about it, nice going once again.

Can you imagine? If they had used a 1916 Merc to make that coin!?!? LOL

Nice!
