Mercury Rising

Postby GGerrands » Wed Oct 02, 2013 10:59 pm

Been out of the dime sorting game for a couple of months due to the fact that where I dump has a quarterly limit of 3 times on how often I can withdraw from my account.
Oct 1st=new quarter (year)...time to sort again.
For some reason I had a feeling I might not find any silver roosies in this box but was thinking about a mercury dime.
Lo and behold...a 1944!

(I've recently found a good scanner, i might just post of picture of this. Nothing spectacular numismatics-wise, but still gave me a bit of a thrill!)

I just found another today... a 1917 :mrgreen: No more valuable than any other, but the oldest dime I've found for sure.
