[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] (8) USA silver Winged Liberty/"Mercury" dimes. The coins are dated 1919, 1935, 1937-D, 1940, 1941, and 1942...
Well, it's time for another drawing, isn't it? Without further ado, the random number generator has proclaimed the lucky number for Day 7 to...
Best I can offer at the moment. A few holeys. Rather a far cry from the old days. [ATTACH]
The yellow stuff is always impressive, but I liked seeing Balbinus as well. Never had him. Did have one from Pupienus, once upon a time.
