You have been a member since March of 2018, almost 2 years. But, you show as being a new member. And, you still don't know where the mint mark is on coin?
Both terms are acceptable as listed in the Red Book. I usually insert my left leg first when putting my pants on. Lol
Need to alternate. That way neither leg gets left out of the fun of being the first leg in, and no fights or hard feelings ensue.
It's just like the Barber or Liberty Head Dime. Either name applies. This is a copy of my Red Book. Either name is acceptable.
Actually.. Winged Liberty Head When metal detecting with my friends we usually shout out "I found a Merc!".. Much easier than shouting "I found a winged liberty head"
Yes, unless you are writing a book or teaching a class, the coin community uses handles that everyone recognizes. In my 70 years of collecting this coin has been called a "Mercury Dime". Like you say "...I found a Merc..."
