1941 Mercury Dimes
I didn't find much at my recent trip to the local coin shop but I didn't want to leave empty handed. I decided to look through the old circulated silver coins or 'junk' silver as they're sometimes called to see if I could find any on the cusp.
Sometimes the coins you find are quite worn and barely resemble anything other than a smooth disc. Other times you find something that although circulated is nice. I found these 4 mercury dimes and thought they looked rather nice to be sitting in a 'junk' silver box, so I grabbed them.
Take a look and see for yourself!
Front
Back
Edges
The edges are quite worn but you can still see the reeding on them.
What do you expect from a circulated 78 year old dime!?!
Scale 🙃
I actually thought about taking a picture of these next to a modern dime for scale as a joke!
They're dimes! They are the size of a dime! What more can I say!?!
Details
Finally, here are some detailed images of these 4 beauties.
That's it... hope you enjoyed seeing these dimes!
The Mercury dimes are older and much cooler but for stacking reasons I would stick with the Rosies ever since there was a Video put out by Youtube stacker that since Rosie dimes are newer and less wear they were simply a logical choice. He proved this by weighting a Roll of Rosies versus a roll of Mercs and the difference can be significant.
@kerrislravenhill - Thanks for that info! That sounds crazy but true! I would love to get some Roosevelt silver dimes... next time I'm at the coin shop I'll be looking for them. Cheers!
Dude your photograph skill are great. I have given up and just use my craps S6.
@dfinney, look, DIMES!

Thanks for the comments @senstless! It's tough to get detailed photos of such small items! For that reason I use a digital SLR. We'll see if 'dimes'finney shows up... 😆
😂🤣😂🤣
🍆
Haha! We were waiting for you to show up!
Those babies look pretty good to me 😁 and great pics too man. Up that close it’s hard to get good focus and you cut ‘em sharp!
Thanks man! Yeah, taking photos of 1 oz and up is a lot easier than something as small as a dime!
OMG...
So
Many
Dimes

Haha! 😆 I didn't realize you liked Mercury dimes so much!
Like is a strong word. 😂🤣
