I've always liked the look of the Merc Dime and I recently came into a little money so I decided to buy a nice one. 1942. I was going to ask GTG but my imaging sucks so much I decided against it. Here is the coin:


and the grade:

    Buy the coin, not the holder, right?

    I paid a whopping $6 for the coin. I'm curious what PCGS would grade the coin but I don't think I want to spend $30 to find out.

    I wouldn't either, but it is definitely nicer than the typical Nancy holdered coin.

    For $6 how can you go wrong. The Mercury is a beauty and your pictures aren't so bad.

    Congrats on your pickup.
