My initial impression was that the Morgan and the lower Mercury have both been cleaned, but the photos really aren't good enough to say for sure one way or another. Can you take some additional shots, more closed framed or cropped, of these coins individually rather than as a group?

I can't imagine anyone would turn any Morgan or a Mercury dime away in the right circumstances. So, in the sense of whether they are desirable, of course they are. Whether it was good buy is dependent on what you paid. I'm not really an expert on either of these types, so I can't help you much, but maybe others could if you can tell them what you paid. |

Well, these are better photos, for sure.
I'm still inclined to believe that they've been cleaned - I pretty certain of that with respect to the dimes, but I think I'd have to have the Morgan in hand to be sure on that point with regard to it. Insofar as wear goes, the Morgan looks to be high AU at worst.

Can you not buy Merc's on ebay from people in the US and have them shipped to you? I've been buying rolls of Merc's for less than $80 and typically there are a few AU's included. |

And as much as I like old US coins, I would buy silver rounds before I'd spend that much on common Mercury dimes |

What specifically was giving you cause for that concern? Unless the weight's off, I'm not seeing it - plus it's one of the most common issues in the series, and thus not normally one that's counterfeited.
