Project get the Slug out, Got Slugs?

(Note, not my book)

 

I always wanted an MS68 full band Mercury Dime, but never ended up pulling the trigger on one. Fantastic looking coin, and welcome to the forum.

 

Made a coin box.
Mahogany and acrylic.
Magnetic hold down cover.

 

Here's one I picked up a couple of months ago.
1926 S , want to get it graded.
Under a microscope 40x appears to be FB.

 

Gotta say WOW for that 43s beauty of merc! The box is pretty nice too but those lil boxes like that fill fast lol As for project "Get the slugs out" I got a slug merc to share. My favorite "slug"

 

Wow, that coin box is something else!

 

Lighting does not show it's actual color which is bright silver.

 

I grew up in white pine michigan, a copper mining town.
The story is long and short.
Wp mine started about 1956 and ended around 1978.
Long cool story growing up in a company town.
Everything was new and the best..
Worked at the mine during the summer.
Ever shovel silver concentrate?
Not very heavy that is, hum.
I have two of the wp ingots, 50 pounds each 20 percent silver.
Anyway....

 

Indeed! I've moved to two briefcase like storage receptacles. One for NGC and one for PCGS.

 

Beautiful!!!!

 

Got coppers? Some raw Cu.

 

Got Ni too.
