I used the search feature and could not find a thread for Mercury Dimes so I figured I would start one. I just purchased my first, a PCGS G4 1916-D. I look forward to adding others in the near future! Post yours!
There is a 25 page thread in the Coin Chat forum. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-mercury-dimes.194305/page-25
It won't hurt to start a new Winged Liberty Head thread! My metal detected Mercs! Two of about a dozen I have found over the years.
Whoops! My apologies. I used the search feature and it did not pull it up. A moderator could kill this one if they wish.
Even though the last post on the thread was only a few days ago it had been pushed down to Page 5 on the Coin Chat forum. Very easy to miss.
I recall hunting a H.U.D. house's yard years ago and digging a really beautiful AU 1916 Merc. It came out of the ground Obverse Up & I was so excited, I placed it on the front seat of my car driving all the way back home, without looking at the reverse. For that brief drive, I had great enjoyment 'Not Knowing' and wishing with all my might for a great outcome/reveal. As you probably have guessed, it was only a Philly mint Merc....but still a nice find. I would have several other Merc. finds that were exciting, (I.E. 1942, hoping for the 42 over 1 variety)...but Alas, No luck there as well. J.T.
