Late night searching..

For all those still up and active tonight..

I'm going thru a pile of mer dimes (about 25$ face value).. What dates should I look out for? I know some of the key dates, but are there specific ones that have special meaning or errors I should look for?

Thanks again for all your help so far.

1916 D and if you find a roll of them keep it to yourself the last guy who discovered a roll never came back to the forum

 

I bet! I do have 2 1916's so far but one's date is illegible and the other has no mint mark... I suppose I'll keep searching.

 

16-D, 21, 21-D, 26-S, 31-D

Honestly, any older merc F or better is worth putting aside.

 

Oh I'm sure not going to spend any of them, but just making sure that I don't overlook anything. I use Coin-Manage software but I've already found some mistakes in the values it gives.

I'll go so far as to post a list of what dates I have and how many on just the mer dimes when I get done tonight. Maybe that'd be easier to identify possible gems.

 

There you are! Haven't run across you in a while. Searching through the horde tonight, huh? Best of luck!

 

Yeah it's been a while.. yeah almost done with the random rolls and albumns.. the proof sets will be a little quicker to go thru, so I'm looking forward to that.

 

28 s and 41 s have large and small varieties......45 micro s.....several ddo's 31, 31s, 35, 37, 39, 41 off top of my head.......very rare 42/1 + 42/1 d.....

 

Where did he go? LOL

 

no clue

 

Sorry about the delay folks.. I'll post up my list either tonight or tomorrow evening.

 

hawaii or something.. that topic made me so mad.
he was an active poster before he ran off though.. which was weird.

 

he didnt run off we made him run off

 

This is what I picked thru the other day. Let me know if any dates jump out at ya.

*Updated List

 

uh, if you could organize it starting with the earliest date?

 

Ok, it's been updated now.. took me a minute but I figured it out.

ooo, much better!

after taking a look, there are non in there with a mintage lower than 6mil - and those seem to be the tough ones.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought. The CoinManage software put a value on them to be 1-2$ each at a G4 rating.. is that right?

 

Thought you guys might like to see these shots I took when I was goin thru the mer rolls.

 

wow, that's a lotta mercs. In addition to the keys, pull out all the 42 p and d coins and look at them very carefully. the 42/1 D is VERY subtle and shows just the slightest nub of a 1 poking out from the 2. You need a hand lens to see it. Looks like fun, good luck!!!
