Easy money.
I once swallowed a Mercury dime when I was about 3 1/2 and my mother had to make sure it passed (tough job but someone had to do it!). While Mercury Dimes are in my blood somewhat, one has definately passed through my digestive track! LOL
When I moved here 30 years ago, we had a flood in the basement and a birthday card with 10 Mercury dimes in it and the scrap book that held my digested dime got full of water and the dimes were all at the bottom of the box and we couldn't tell them apart anymore. If I had that coin today, I might consider having it encapsulated...but then it was a strong VF 1941 as I remember!
All the best,

Trust me. If there was any sentimental value, it would be front and center in the auction!
