Post a Favorite Mercury Dime

I have always had a penchant for Danscos . . . . . page 1 of an AU/BU set . . . . with a few exceptions. Soooooo hard to complete. You can do an AG-G set in 2-3 days . . . . .

Ohhhhhh . . . what the heck. Page 2. Matched 65 and 66s . . .

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

I don't need to have all Gem to be able to enjoy the history and lore of the Mercs . . . . . .
The set sure has been fun . . . .

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".

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.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

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

I'm going to guess with a little tilt to the light this is a very rich blue?

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.

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.
