Much like my badly used work van, this 38-O left the mint and did it's job for many a year. I am proud to give her a retirement home. James

One of my completed Mercury Dime sets.

 

I had to show the size of my starfish fossil as I used a dime. Lol

 

I’m not a fan of toning but I love this one.

 

I've run out of weirdo Barber dimes that I haven't posted before, so I dug this out of my world travels change jar. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces734.html

Story time: These coins are really tiny. When my cousin and I stopped in the Snevelbokske campground and bar for a night, we ended up staying there for 5 days. The bartender had all sorts of novel bar bets. One of them was filling two beer glasses with water, under the water in a sink, put them end to end tightly together, carefully remove and set upright on the bar such that all the water stays in both glasses. Bet someone that you can get a coin into the glasses without spilled a drop. Once they accept, supposedly you can tap the top glass carefully to the side until a tiny gap forms. The water will not spill out because of surface tension if the gap is small enough. Then one of these 10 cent coins is tiny enough to slip into the gap and drop inside, without any water spilling. He didn't demonstrate this, so it may be an urban legend.

 

One of my dime errors.
