I think I found an error on my mercury dimes?

    I also posted my little collection, I suck at photoshop, so yeah..
    Anyways, on the mercury dimes, bottom left hand corner where the little shrub is, on one there's more leafs than there is on the other, it branches out more? I'm 100% sure it's an error, but how common is it?
    Also, I guess you can only upload so many so if the dime error isn't in this post, I'll post a reply right away.

    Look carefully, It appears to be a "s" mintmark to me.

    It isn't though, I can see it clearly...maybe I should circle it?...I'd try an get a better picture but my camera won't focus enough.

    It is a mintmark. 'S' for San Francisco Mint.

    Alright, I see it now.
    Sorry, I didn't before....
    Are any of these coins worth anything? I just got into this coin collecting not even a week or so ago.

    They are all older, therefore less common. So yes they are all worth something, but that depends on what "something" means to you. The Franklin Half Dollar is 90% silver so that has silver melt value as well as numismatic value. Silver value probably more so, however.

    It's a 1963 D Franklin Half Dollar and to me, would be in VF condition. Seems to have no pocket wear and barely a scratch...I'm new to this grading thing, but what would you or anyone rather grade these coins as? I've researched them but have no idea how to grade them.

    Not sure if it notifies you that I replied.

    The pictures are a bit blurry to see details on the Franklin. It is definately not mint state condition though, so in that case the silver value is higher than it's collector value.
