<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 163114, member: 4552"]I'd say fantastic. I go to about 3 coins shows a Month and Mercury Dimes go for $1.25 each for the simplist and most common ones in not to good condition so you did great. Now here is something not to many people seam to know about those Merc Dimes. When you get them, note the reverse. Turn the flip over from top to bottom carefully. In my experience about 10 to 20 % of Merc Dimes have rotated reverses. Many are only slightly rotated but some are greatly rotated. I've got some that are as much as 90 % rotated. For some reason they are not listed as an error anywhere but I predict that someday, they will command a larger varlue. I've actually bought some with rotated reverses for less than they were worth because the dealer thought that was undesirable. If you put all your Merc's in a Whitman or Dansco Album where you can see both sides it is fun to notice the fronts all lined up and turn the page and you feel like your drunk. Also, some are rotated to the left and some to the right. Check it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
