    Hey guys, IDK if it's been mentioned yet but these looked pretty new. Apmex and a few other places are selling these ultra high relief 2 oz silver Mercury dimes. I bought a few of them and they just came in today. On the edge of the fasces blade it says Two troy oz, .999 AG in very small letters. The rest of it is just a 1916-D UHR stamped in a very thick planchet. They're a little over an inch in diameter and I'd guess about a quarter inch thick. There's a premium on them but it's worth it. I want to get more.

    They came in plastic flips. Idk if they're safe for long term storage. I wish I had plastic capsules that would fit them.

    Merc. dime is one of my favorite designs. I always wanted it to be on a larger coin. Well, wish no more, except it's a silver round. Beggars can't be choosers.

    They're 39 mm dia. and 6 mm thick. I was able to find some plastic capsules for them. A quarter inch is 6.35 mm. My guess was pretty good. lol
