Nice merc. They made so many of those from 42-45 during the war. I’d say most of the mercs found on Tnet fall in those dates. That holds true for Walker’s too.
 

Nice finds thanks for posting :)
 

Looks like you had a very good day - congrats !
 

Canadian coins always makes me happy in that I can say I found a foreign coin.
 

I am newbie. What is Merc? Also are we allow to sell sliver dime and quarters for the silver and pennies for the copper value?
A merc is a mercury dime. Made from 1916-1945.
 

Check that merc for the allusive 2 over 1 mint error. I can't get the pic to enlarge enough to be sure it's not. (fingers crossed for you)
Thanks for sharing and ..... ..... ..... fan DIME tastic

No such luck. Pretty clean. But thanks for bringing it up. Had not remembered that was a potential error year.
