What do you think of my new roll find?

    I found this dime in some rolls I picked up from the bank. It has a glossier finish than my other Mercury dimes that didn't seem to be picked up when I scanned the dime (maybe a picture would be better)? I know it is a common date but would do you think the grade of it is? I am asking because most mercury dimes I find or get cheap aren't glossy (luster?).

    excellent find

    I think you know that is an excellent find. If it were an uncirculated coin, then the value would be much higher to a Mercury dime collector. It has great eye-appeal but it has seen some circulation and it is not a rare date. If it were mine, I would put it in a 2x2 and neatly label it with date, mint mark, date-found, and where I found it. It's the kind of coin that makes you feel good :hail: every time you see it because it has much better than average eye appeal & you found it.

    Yes, it is a good investment at 10 cents.
