There was a thread about a month ago or so that was referencing 1918 and I went through coin facts looking at all of the 1918, 1918-D and 1918-S Mercs...that example is certainly the prettiest 1918 example from any Mint in Coin Facts...and I posted it in the thread and tagged Wayne to try to draw him out of hiding but it didn't work. Fantastic Coin!...as are many of his coins.

These are my only two. I found a couple circulated examples in the change return as a kid. I think that is what ultimately sparked my interest in coins.

Thanks Coinjunkie for hooking up my photos! Could you do this one also please?

An unfortunate one in my collection, not quite my favorite, but still admired.
"Cleaned"

Doesn't look cleaned to me.

I agree with the others-that '18-S is something else!

My dealer friend suggests that I crack the coin out and send it in to NGC. Should I?

Yes, if you are an NGC member or if it has sentimental value. I read somewhere there is a coin dealer that buys problem coins also. I am on pins and needles myself. I submitted a sentimental Liberty. It is in grading, but I checked the box not to holder with only a genuine grade.

To hope and get a straight grade.

Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.

Please share your Favorite Mercury Dimes. I know you have them.

It has been way too long since this thread has been bumped. Here is one that I can share.
1941-D PCGS MS67FB CAC - POP 4/0
DDO & DDR FS-101I have obtained several more Mercs but they are unattributed so I do not want to share until they get attribution. Based on shipping/insurance costs and the desire to be somewhat conservative in that realm, I will painfully wait to submit in person at Summer FUN on July 8th. Then I will have quite a few to share a month or two after that.

It’s not particularly rare, but I’ve always been fond of this 1942 proof in PR-66.

Some really great examples so far of this classic and beautiful design and series.
Here’s a few from my modest assortment. Looks like I got a bit carried away and posted more than my single favorite.

Nice ones @nwcoast
What’s the grade on the 1940-S?There are about 6+ DDOs known for the date.
I am almost certain that you have the DDO-002 & DDR-001 which translates into the Cherrpickers' Guide FS-901.
Probably not a huge premium in that condition but certainly not bad.I'm looking for one but more in the 66FB or higher realm.

I think that they are all pretty... many of the ones post in this topic have incredible toning,thanx for posting them! I haven't had much opportunity to see anything like them in hand, and not sure if they'd be in my budget if similar became available!
The pics I take are poor but here are my TrueViews



















I mainly collect raw Ancients, PCGS Mercury Dimes, and raw CSA'S... but have misc other sets...Jeffhttps://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/mysetregistry/set/215647https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/mysetregistry/showcase/8378

Well thank you!
I didn’t realize it might be a ddo!
Those minor ones sometimes fly right under my radar.
This one is raw and housed in my Dansco album. Maybe I should send it in? Doesn’t look very high with a dash of high point rub on the obverse?
Certainly worth further analysis though! Thanks for the heads up! :-)Happy, humble, honored and proud recipient of the “You Suck” award 10/22/2014

Hey @keyman64 Just crossed this over from an old ANACS holder and bumped up one point.

Here's a newer item I had imaged.

@planetsteve Those are nice, congrats! The cert number on the 1938 is pretty cool too.
