Show me your best Mercury dime, and Barber dime. Not slabed.

I don't have any graded. But these two sure do have detail in them.

Ok, unslabed I have one. 1916D 10c AG3. Don't know if it's authentic, it weighs the same as a normal mercury. I'll post photos later.

Slabed, It would have to be my 1937 MS67+FB.

 

The MM fell off of this one while the dealer was showing it to me. He ended up giving me the dime, couldn't find the MM though.

 

I don't remember where I put my Mercury dimes. I have a complete set EXCEPT for the venerated '16-D. Many of those from the Forties appear as though they left the mint yesterday.

 

Not my best condition, but is my favorite. The mint mark "looks like" S over O. I'm sure it isn't. I foun

d it in change way back in the 50's.​

 

I forget where some things are too. I might be an older geezer.

 

Now that's funny!

 

This isn't in the best condition but I believe it has a cud.

 

One for 1944.

 

I posted the 1917 above for sentimental reasons, since it is part of my parents’ birth year set. Some of you may prefer looking at this one.

 

Might be. My dad set my brother and me up with our own Whitman 1¢ folders in the early-to-mid-Fifties. IIRC, I was 11, my little brother 9. I still have mine, volume 1 filled except for the '09-S vdb and the 14-D, mostly pulled from circulation 60+ years ago.

 

Unslabbed and as naked as the day it was born...

 

LOL, not at all embarrassing to him?

 

IN the wild, that

That's they way I got most of mine. In the 40's and 50's and early 60's you had a chance to pull any regular issue coin from circulation. I got a 20 cent piece in change one time.

 

What? you have the 1916 "disappearing mintmark" variety? That's extremely rare! You could sell that on Etsy for BIG BUCKS!

 

Only mercury photo, but is one of the better ones.

 

Dang, that is a first! Here are a couple of my better looking, not yet thin dimes.
