Nice find! I usually can discern the % difference by the sound it makes. Take a known 80% dime and drop it to hear it ring. A 50% dime has a...
I'm attempting to fill a buffalo nickel folder from circulation/CRH finds. Many of the earlier date/mintmark nickels are the result of...
Back in 2004, I stopped into my local bank to ask for unusual coins, and they sold me 4 rolls of silver quarters (they knew I collected coins)....

Ended up with 29 Mercury dimes in this box. But these two enders greeted me when I opened the box!

Bobbeth- I've noticed the different reeding on Franklins and Walkers vs Kennedys. I've even noticed it on the dimes i've found. It seems that...
Absolutely love this coin! A 1943 Mercury dime was one of the first silver coins i added to my early collection. A very generous neighbor gave...
Found a 1954 Franklin in a box of halves today! Then got a 43-s war nickel in change at lunch. Pretty good day!
