    I was browsing through an album at a B&M last year and found this Mercury (along with several other nice Mercs) in the album. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

    I recently learned the 1916's and I think some of the 1917's were struck with higher relief. You can really tell it with your coin. Very nice.

    What a terrific coin. Tremendous strike, and (under the right light) color to die for. These images ought to be in the dictionary next to the term "keeper." :)

    Keep these images in mind for later discussions on "original skin" vs. AT. No better example is to be found.
