Nice find. Suggest that you soak that dime in acetone to get that crud off.
I see comments about acetone all the time. Yet I also hear "By God, DO NOT clean your coins". I've never used acetone, is it much less harmful than say, soap and water?

Acetone will dissolve organic dirt and grime without damaging the metal or toning. I wouldn't use soap unless I was sure it didn't have any abrasives. I remember the commercials on TV for Lava Soap which claimed better cleaning power since it contained pumice. A clear liquid detergent such Dawn may work but never rub the coin when cleaning it or drying it.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
I can tell you that back then the yellow cheese used was actually Swiss cheese. No kidding. When the big containers of frijoles we're cooking we used to pitch pennies in them. Most of the time we found all the coins. 😗

Nice, what date is the Merc?

Sweet! Odd, the last 90% find in circulation I had was also at a Taco Bell (old SLQ).
Did you grab some napkins to help them become more valuable?
It's Taco Bell, it was "expelled", within 5 minutes.
Nice score!!!

To heck with Walmart parking lot I'm going to taco bell 🔔
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
I know there are haters out there but I love me some Taco Bell…!!!
Could you please cash it in at the Kroger CoinStar near my home and just walk away without checking the reject bin?

They've been able to keep it relatively cheap at 1.69 now but, I bet they tasted much better then.

We have a restaurant chain in Nebraska called " Runza". It is what I get within five minutes of Taco Bell.

Nice score as I haven't gotten a silver Merc in change since Blockbuster Video was around.
1945…
Would have been cooler a 1921 or 16-D
