I purchased my first proof Mercury dime this week and love it. Has nice gold and blue tones, CAC and sharp as a tack. I consider these an underrated series with a total of only 78.618 minted between 1936 and 1942. The current values on these are on the low side IMO considering the relatively low pops and mintage's. Post some cameos!
