Silver, wheats and clad at local ball field

[fongu]

I went to a local ball field for just over an hour and found a 1935 mercury dime and the bands on the back are very crisp and defined, but don't know if this was a key date. Found 1925, 1942 & 1944 wheat pennies and 5 clad pennies. Haven't had time for photos, but will try and post them next time I come to town. My first mercury dime this year and only the 3rd since I got into this hobby in December of 2007.

Congrats on your finds. I am sure you were very happy with your 3rd in 8 years. Might be 2017 before your next!

Thanks. I posted my finds from both trips and wait until you see what I found Friday and almost didn't dig because I was tired and pressed for time. Glad I dug it.

If you can clearly see the space between the bands, (in other words, the band's are not touching each other), then you have what is graded as "Full split bands", or fsb.
Let's see those pictures
1935 was a common date for the Mercury Dime
