<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 854162, member: 15309&quot;]Based on the die cracks, I would say that you have yourself a 1920-D Mercury Dime.&nbsp; The die cracks for this date/mm are well known and the one from the tip of the wing feathers to the rim is photographed in David W. Lange&#039;s book <i>A COMPLETE GUIDE TO MERCURY DIMES</i> (pg 71).&nbsp; To confirm this you should look for the &quot;D&quot; mintmark which will be located between the &quot;E&quot; in ONE and the bottom of the branch on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news about your coin is that it did not circulate very long and has VF-XF details remaining.&nbsp; The bad news is that the coin has been harshly cleaned and the 1920-D is a common date for the earlier issues.&nbsp; Given that it is a problem coin, you will probably get $10-$15 if you sold it on E-Bay.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, die cracks do not usually increase the value of a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
