Good job on the wheats and silver. Funny, I always thought of the merc as the much more common silver coin.

NIce digs Joe!

I've heard other people say this and it seems odd to me; I dig at least twice as many Rosies and I do Mercs. No doubt that's just because of the places I'm hunting though.

I'd take a Merc before a Rosie any day.... don't know why. :dontknow: I guess I just really like the design of the Mercury dime.

I do stay pretty evenly matched though with the two. For some reason I'm always about 1 or 2 difference in totals. I like to be well rounded... lol
