Bonus 1928 S large 'S' variety in SEGS holder AU-50 cleaned. I bought this for two reasons, first to distinguish the difference between large and regular 'S' varieties and second to study how it was cleaned. I think this was lightly polished.

The original statistic was that around 40% of 1928 S mint dime are large S, but its been revised that it maybe far less than that now. I don't have the percentage of the current estimate, but I guess is around 15-20%.

1929-D: I've wondered if I should try to upgrade ones with filled mint-marks...

1929-S:

I am pretty sure this is 1929 (it looks like it could be a 1928, but the font appears to be slightly different between '28 and '29).

Wow Captain,

You beat Fuzzy in posting 1929's. LOL!
I am interested in seeing the reverse of the Neutron dime, is there any design elements?

I forgot to photograph the reverse of the holder, and in doing so, I found out I could pop out the dime to photograph the reverse of that too.

The other kind of holder has a lid and I don't think you could remove the dime without damaging it. There are at least three versions of the capped holder that I'm aware of (blue text, black text and a "mid-south fair's atomic energy exhibit" version.)

RidgeRunner!

Thanks Captain for posting the reverse of the Neutron Dime. I need to get some samples of those varieties down the road...

According to the Wexler Treasure Hunting Mercury dimes book, Doubled Die coins from 1929 and on have been discovered but not for any years below? Check out if yours have double date and other doubling.
