At the last minute I managed to get out for a rare evening hunt last night. I headed to a local spot that had been under construction all summer. I got lucky with a nice Merc and was surprised to learn it's a semi-key date - 1926 S. Unfortunately it has a fresh scuff on the back - I would assume from getting bulldozed around in the dirt. Otherwise it's in nice shape.

Happy hunting!

Nice looking Merc! Don't see many from the 1920s in that good of shape.

Congrats on the semi-key Mercury Dime! It's always nice to find one that is an uncommon date. :yes:

I don't catch many mercs and certainly no rare ones. Congrats on a nice keeper!

Mercs are a pretty common find, especially the later dates. But to find an early one much less a rare date and mint in that condition is a rare treat, congrats!

Cat tracks ain't too forgiving. :shame:
Luckily the scuff is minor, and it's on the reverse.
Great save from the construction site :thumbsup02:
Congrats :congrats:
