Read the newbie thread but still have 2 questions for CRH

[momandboys]

Hi,

I thought this would be a fun activity to do this winter on snow days with my two sons. I have read though a lot of posts and get the general idea of what to look for and how to obtain the coins. Two questions that I ponder:

1. What is a merc?
2. Are the 1976 bicentennial quarters worth anything?

Thank you!

Damn, any idea on why it's so low down here?
