I'm not sure if this should be posted in the copper, or silver forum! I purchased my weekly $5.00 in CWR pennies from my local credit union today. Some of the rolls were in really old wrappers. In one of those rolls, a VF 1939 Mercury dime was in with the pennies! The rolls were 60% copper, with the newest cents in the rolls dated 2000. Oddly enough, there was only one Wheat--56 d--in the rolls. Needless to say it made my day!

Wow! Great find. A merc mixed in with 12 year old pennies is tough to explain.

I've gotten dirty dimes in some penny rolls, but nothing as awesome as a Liberty head.
cool find.
