I bought a SBA from Dabigkauhuana and when it arrived this was in there with it.

    When I bought a couple coins from him, I got a free 1911-O Barber Halfimage and a 1911 Liberty nickel!image

    That is a very nice bonus, I like the Mercury dime design, so I am partial to them.

    I am Wondering and Thinking that Spooly May Have Coined a Whole New Name for the "Winged Liberty Dime". Will the Term "The Fishing Lure" hold Up and With Stand Time as the Term "Mercury Dime" has ??
      Sure Wish I could Be Around 50 Years from Now to See if this Will Be True. I can See it All right now a Youngster, who has Read these Boards Recently, referring to a "Winged Liberty" 50 Years from Now as a "Fishing Lure Coin".

        That would be very cool if it did catch on like that and it all started here. By the way has any actually tried to use one of these as a fishing lure? image

        I have.... I wasn't kidding! Mercs make great fishing lures! The fish hit it everytime! I tried washers once... didn't work. I think the fish are draw to the flash (shine) of a Merc. I will take some pics next time.

        I've never fished with one. Have a few low grade raw pieces. May try it one day.
