As for a few older ones

 

Canadian coins commonly circulate here near Syracuse NY
Pulled these CRH 4 years ago
I searched a lot of boxes

 

Okay here's mine! Beautiful silver Mercury!

 

Yes, like it, also, but need to ask, please...what is happening with the top half of the letters, near the rim...esp on the 40-S reverse at the top (...STATES OF...) ? Is this strictly a strike/weakness issue...? I see it a lot with many coins at the tops of letters, more often those near the rim...always looks like they've been buffed or otherwise rubbed/whizzed down, but never sure. Thanks.

 

That’s heavy metal

 

I believe they are weakly struck. Apparently the San Fransisco mint was doing everything they could to get the mintage numbers needed from what I also believe was an insufficient number of dies for the date. I have cataloged 14 different obverse dies solely based on near terminal die cracks.

 

First years of issue for the two obverse types and three reverse types.
1892 Obverse 1 Reverse 1

1900 Obverse 1 Reverse 2
1901 Obverse 2 Reverse 3

 

I’m late. Computer issues Sunday.

Damn. Your dime are all broken. Did you save your receipt
