Hi Guys! So excited! My first silver purchase came in the mail today. I went home on lunch to go pick it up.

Pics below!

(was so excited I ended up locking myself out of the house and having to walk back to my office, lol)

I like those I wish the US mint would do some silver dimes.

So how long and how many times did you keep taking it out to look at it?

Warning buying silver or gold can be a serious addiction.

Just don't fall in love with it so much that you never want to sell it.

Welcome to the silver world.

Great looking coin! Could we have some detail; I'm curious myself, don't think I've ever seen that one...

Thanks! I think I've already become addicted. I keep checking ebay, APMEX, gainesville coins, etc. multiple times a day.

This is actually a bullion round. It's a Mercury dime.

Waiting for one more purchase to arrive. Think my next purchases will be an ASE and junk silver. Not sure where to get the junk silver though!

Welcome to the forum, Loon.

Your first silver buy looks great. I've always liked the design of the old Mercury dime, even if the official name is more like "winged liberty" or some such. It looks like Mercury to me too!

APMEX has a very good selection of 90% silver coins and in various grades so it is easy to buy ones that have the look you want. Other dealers sell 90% silver coins too but I haven't seen any that have APMEX's variety. I got some Walking Liberty halves from them that are in XF condition and look terrific.

Thanks Ed!

I really like this design too. I ended up buying a lot of 15 dimes just now, just due to this round!

Wow, that would look so nice next to my 1 ounce silver round that looks like a Buffalo nickel. I'm starting to like these new silver rounds that imitate older US coins. At first, I didn't like the buffalo, then someone had em for a tad below spot so I went for it. Low and behold, I love em now.

Sweet... and so it begins. Silvermania! There is no cure, only occasional treatments. Speaking of which, I am about due for my next treatment!
