    There is one called The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes by David W. Lange
  • I'm looking for a good Mercury dime book, too. Does this one fit the bill? Are there any others I should know about?
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    That is the one I have. It seems pretty complete. image

    I was able to get Dave to sign mine. image

    I concur, the Lange book is excellent. It even describes the 1923-D and 1930-D and has a picture of the 1923-D. image By the way, I am a STRONG buyer for these 2 dates.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. image

    So far, I've identified "The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes" and "Treasure Hunting Mercury Dimes", both available on Amazon.

    David Lange's book is the best one on the Mercury Dime series. If you want more detailed background on the origin, design and initial production (including the failed August 1916 coins) look for a copy of "Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921."
