Yeah I agree. That is an amazing junk bin find. I just received a couple more in the mail today. I will be trying to upgrade all of the early years in my album. here is a first year San Fran and a last year San Fran If only that S was a D on that '16.
Posted these in the newest acquisitions thread but felt it was appropriate to use these to revive this thread.
I cannot under good conscious, let a good thread die. Here are two of my favorites: 28 large and small S
I've got a bunch of mercury dimes, but these are my favorites: The first has a diamond chip stuck in it. On the back you can see a dent in the metal where the diamond is set. My grandma found it on the floor of a grocery store and picked it up for me. Even if it's not worth anything it's still a neat thing to have. The second is a planchet clip mercury dime. :3
Dont collect these but my grandmother left me a coffee can full of earlier dates, no keys though. All circulated but since you guys are posting circulated early examples here are some enjoy.....:thumb:
