My first Mercury Dime!

[allenb]

This thing looks like it was dropped the year it was made. It's a beaut! First merc ever for me, and only my third silver ever. It was cold, blowing wind and snow but I couldn't take it anymore...had to get out.

WTG man!!! I remember that feeling of finding a Merc like it was only 2 weeks ago........Oh, It was only 2 weeks ago

Nice find. LOVE those Mercs. I just wish I could find one. Great job.

Oh yeah.....Make sure that you check the coin and see if it the 1942/1

Good going, sweeeeet Merc!

 

[Dimeman]

Nice Merc!!! Is that a 1942 If so check the date for a chance of an 42 over 41, overdate.

Merks are one of my favorite coins. I remember my first one, elementry school i went to.

Congrats Allen... now, what is your next goal?

 

[julesjunk]

a 42 merc was the coin/find that got me re-obsessed with this great hobby.
Gongrats!

Thanks guys! I checked the date, it is not a 42 over 1...or at least not with the naked eye. Next goal? I think a V nickel would be cool. I've got an IH, Buffalo, 2 Walking halves and now a merc. A large cent would be great too. What I really want is warm weather!
