I havent gotten it yet, but I recently one a lot of 6 Mercury dimes and a 3 cent nickel for $6.00 on an auction site I recently stumbled upon. Is there really such thing as a 3 cent nickel?

Yes! They were made from 1865-1889.

Oh cool! Thank yall! I just went on and read about them. Mine is a 1966. And there are only 5 Mercury dimes, a '35, '36, '42, '43, and a '44.

Most likely an 1866. Yes, they are most certainly real coins.

Congratulation on your win!

First, the melt value of the 5 dimes is $5, so if you didnt have to pay much postage, it's already a pretty fair deal.

That gives you a nice start on a Mercury dime collection (if that is your goal), AND a new type coin!

Or, if you don't want the Nickel 3C piece you can sell it off, or maybe trade it for a Mercury date you're missing.

Although the term "3 cent nickel" is the one most often used, the term "nickel 3 cent" is the correct one.
Look it up in your Red Book.
