27 Days Of Winged Liberty Head (Mercury) Dimes!

I have very few of these lovely coins worthy of showing.
My original Mercury Whitman folder missing but two coins, all pulled from circulation, was stolen from the house when I was a teenager. I have been slowly rebuilding the collection, primarily by searching silver melt tubs. This 16-S came loose in a tray lot from a local estate sale. It's without a doubt the best example I have, and now happily resides in my 7070.

Thanks Moe! It looks like we're off to a great start!

All except this first Merc were collected from circulation in the 1950s

A Recent Purchase




1916 from my album




1916 S

here is my 16P and is my type set coin



this is in my d slot

Except for one MS that will be later in the thread, all of my others were also pulled from circulation. I just broke them out of 2 old Whitman folders and am taking my 1st try at pictures instead of scans.

Thanks Moe for starting another great thread.


Wow such Beautiful Mercs from everyone

Moe, I think there have been 3 1916-D's posted so far.

1916 P in my Dansco album now.




1916 S is also in my Dansco album, but the pictures I retake didn't look good from the glare, so I used the old one instead.




1916 D is in a NGC holder. VG-10.

VERY nice coins, everyone!
