1916 Merc Dime

Hi everyone,

So Saturday I went and hunted this reservoir built by the railroad in the 1850's to supply water for the trains. I had to wade through a bunch of bottle caps and collected a fair amount of clad and thought I was going to get skunked until I dug this merc dime. After pulling it out of the ground and rubbing enough dirt off of it, I realized it was a 1916 Mercury dime. I got excited then, thinking that it might be worth thousands of dollars I just put it in my pocket and went home to clean it properly. Turns out no mint mark. C'est a la vie, it's still a great collectable coin and was a fun hunt.

Nice pile of coins! Congrats on the 1916 Mercury Dime, still a cool find even without a mint mark! :yes:

:congrats:

Love the Merc. :clapping: One of these days you'll flip a '16 over and see the D. :smitten:

:congrats:! On your silver find! I know! Thats all I've been thinking about. 1916-D That would have been great! Keep Lookin. |:cheering:

:hairpulling: Doh... I hate being teased like that. Especially on a 1916 Merc

Can I buy a &quot:grin:. Nice find amongst the trash and clad.

From the land of the Bluenose.....silver is always nice. <
