1943 Mercury Dime RPD?

The damage in the center of the reverse is from an old dime bank. The bank was a metal tube the size of a roll of dimes with a slot at the top to slip the dimes in and a metal screw that could be tightened down against the dimes in the tube to keep them from rattling around or possibly slipping back out of the slot if you carried it around. If you tighened the screw too much it would cut those grooves in the center of the coin.

Treas,

The statements that went with the pictures "In 1990 I bought a bunch of Mercuries. These others belong to that group. May be these help." made me believe otherwise! I had the feeling that just because he bought all of the coins at the same time in a group and because the one's shown are Dated 1943, he felt that they were also relevant to the topic about the original coin in the Thread.

This one is the middle one(most clean than the others), check out the S and the 3. I think there are double too. What you think if I clean the others two coins with alcohol? Because in the 3rd dime the 9 looks double also to me; with my magnifier.

 

The imagination can do strange things. That's all I want to say. Some folks are on the right track while some others are in a rowboat , in the middle of the Bermuda triangle, waiting to be abducted by E.T.

 

You are quick to judge, Mr. Rolls. Since you are so quick why not name names? Don't hold back. Get it off your chest. Who REALLY is standing in Left Field?

 

I totally agree with you Jon 26
