Post Your Mercury Dimes!!!

Still say the midgrades are a fun challenge:

Please excuse the crappy obverse image as a result of a quick pic.

that is a coin with true character.

 

After reading the thread about forgotten coins, I went through some I hadn't been through in a while and rediscovered this one Merc.

 

May not be a perfect coin, but it sure is pretty. Great photo as well!

 

So yesterday, the coin club president showed me his complete Mercury Dime set in an album. And he said he had been collecting them for 20+ years. And it showed, the coins in the album were either very nice blast white high grades (save the AG-3 '16-D) or beautifully toned from the album. I sure wish I had some of those toned ones...

 

I'm not sure I posted these. I call these 'My Black Beauties". On the 1943 reverse bottom what will take care of the green stuff(PVC?) without injuring the blackness of it?
Thanks ---- zeke.

 

Sound ODD to me lost 1 day by USPS. then found by USPS 4-5 days later??

 

They gave it to my neighbor and not me.

 

ZekeGuzz,

I think 100% Pure Acetone might do the trick.
Available at Walmart,Meijer or local drug stores
in large bottles for just a few bucks.


Please to some testing on something first
and do some research on it. Before putting it on your coins.
I have never had it change the appearance on any Silver coin with PVC Contamination,
I have never tried it on copper.
It just released the PVC from the coin.
I hope this helps.

Nice Black Beauty's:thumb: Lot's of character, I like that in a coin

Stewart--- Thank you. I tried acetone on a 1934-D soaking about 10 hours. No problems encountered. Soaked the 1943
merc with pvc for about 12-15 hours. Seems to have worked like a champ. No picture yet, soon though. Wanted to get off a big THANK YOU for your advice and support.
That's CT at it's best.

too bad your neighbor and you aren't friendly.

 

Totally off-topic, absolutely incorrect, and a petty comment to boot.

 

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that getting private messages from you, and your stalking of me on the board, throwing around false innuendo, and being a general bore was the kind of interaction you enjoyed and so I decided to participate.

I'm sorry for my miss understanding. Feel free to send me another love note through the Private Message system again. I was just assuming that your neighbor felt the same way about you as many people here based on similar behaviors.

I also considered that the delivery person may have intentionally did this to you, but that isn't possible. Right?

I'm not going to continue to derail an otherwise great thread. If you want to continue this conversation, PM me. Oh wait, you can't, I put you on my ignore list.

Here's a new purchase to get this thread back on track.

 

A) You (and I) were requested, if not ordered to stop.

B) Your ignore seems to not be working so well since you still read my messages and follow them around the board. I would recommend that you use it and stick to it.

 

So much tension can only be resolved with more Mercs. First one is in my album. Second one an impulse buy because of the funky mint mark:

ff-topic:I don't know why or care to know why 1 would belittle anyone on this pg !
