My First A. Weinman Dime!!!

[MauserMan]

Picked up two boxes of dimes today. The third roll from box #1 produced a nice '64d, so it felt good to get a skunk out of the way that quickly. Two thirds through the box, I had nothing more to report, but then I noticed what was clearly a silver rim, though an old one. Thinking nothing more, I pulled the dime and was thrilled to see a mercury. It's a very warn 1927, and appears to be a Philly mint. It took me over 20 boxes, but I finally met my goal of finding a merc this year!!!

Box 2 was a skunk, but I'm still glad to have found a merc, and an old one at that!

Nice Job! Finding mercs is probaly one of the most exciting things when hunting dimes. Hopefully there is more to come for you
