<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 918079, member: 15309&quot;]It shouldn&#039;t stir any debate because it is one of the greatest coin designs in American History.&nbsp; It is undoubtedly the best dime design.&nbsp; This thread is lacking without photos, but we can remedy that.&nbsp; Lets start with the 1916.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime19161.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Mercury Dime series also has everything a collector could ask for.&nbsp; Key dates like the 1916, 1921 &amp; 1921-D.&nbsp; An fantastic overdate in the 1942/1.&nbsp; Cool varieties like the broken nose and trumpet tail S along with countless RPM&#039;s.&nbsp; There are die clashes, die breaks, and cuds.&nbsp; It has the most recognized of all of the strike designations (Full Bands).&nbsp; They are found blast white and fantastically toned.&nbsp; The grades run the entire scale from P-01 to MS69.&nbsp; And if that wasn&#039;t enough, they have an infamous couple of counterfeits known as the Soviet dimes produced in a date/mm (1923-D, 1930-D) when there were no Mercury Dimes minted by the Denver mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these factors make the Mercury Dime series a dream for the United States coin collector. I love the series and it was the first series of graded coins that I ever collected.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we really want to make this a long lasting thread, why don&#039;t we try to post a photo of the next coin in the series.&nbsp; I have started with the 1916 and next up is the 1916-D.&nbsp; I know we have a few on this forum so it shouldn&#039;t be tough.&nbsp; To remind the next poster it might be a good idea at the end of each post.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t post a photo of the next coin, please repeat the reminder.</p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">NEXT COIN:&nbsp; 1916-D</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
