Got this from a DLRC auction recently. This isn't my series, and I didn't need this for any of the sets I'm working on, but I've never seen one like it before and had to have it. PCGS MS66FB — Photo credit is DLRC; eventually I'll send to PCGS for a TrueView.
Looking at the reverse I would label the coin the "eclipse dime".
Successful transactions:Tookybandit. "Everyone is equal, some are more equal than others".
I miss this coin. I unfortunately sold it years ago and the cert number no longer works so I can't see if it is in a registry set or something like that. I sure wouldn't mind having it back.

I'm going to guess with a little tilt to the light this is a very rich blue?
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

I can help you with that.
There’s only a ‘Like’ button to push. Where’s the LOVE LOVE LOVE button? I posted that before I found where it landed. I’m looking forward to it!

I don't have any Mercury Dimes to post, but this is a cool thread. Takes me back to when I was a teenager and I bought a high grade Mercury Dime from New England Rare Coin Galleries. Good times.

I have a couple of new Mercs that I could add to this thread but I need to wait about a month+ or so. They need attribution by our host. Hopefully others have some new pretty Mercs to share.

This isn't too terribly exciting but I still think it's cool. This arrived at the good ol' PO Box today. PCGS MS66FB of RPM#1. I think the variety is significant and worthy of inclusion into the new Cherrypickers' Guide Sixth Edition Volume II. If it does get included then it would be a decent early candidate for Top Pop or close to it if PCGS adds it to the Complete Variety Set. I would just have to send it in for the FS- number etc. I know someone that has a PCGS MS65FB example as well.
A crop of the MM.

A couple of semi-keys . . . . . just collector stuff . . .

The set sure has been fun . . . .

Drunner, very nice.

That reverse is totally on fire!
That reverse is one of the prettiest Mercs I've seen! Just outstanding!!
Usually I like my photos more than the TrueView, but not this time. Still trying to perfect this one:

I don't blame you for wishing you still had that coin.

That's a great name for it!
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I can post about a dozen more, but these are two I am fond of from submissions for the last year.
40-S Obv is fully PL with rainbow toning
28 is beautifully original and has some nice emerald toning
@ShadyDave Those are great!

Exactly, yes. Even some hints of dark purple on the obverse near the date.

It’s not my favorite, but it’s my newest AND the one I have a decent picture of.
