1942 Mercury Dime grade

I got this from a pawn shop for $2.80. I’m not sure if it’s been dipped. What are your thoughts?

Doesn’t matter if it’s been dipped or not. It’s a common date. The grade is not high enough to make a difference in price either. At $2,80 you hit a good deal. At today’s spot silver price the value should be around $6.00 just for the silver content.

 

It looks like high VF or low XF details. I does appear to be cleaned, but probably not dipped.

By the way, welcome to CoinTalk. Are you mostly collector of precious metals or numismatics?

I know the photos aren't too great but I thought it might be MS58. It's super shiny. I've been collecting my whole life and I'm into both numismatics and precious metals.
