This actually arrived yesterday, but I had my mail held because I didn't want this sitting in my mailbox if I wasn't home. I won this in an auction.    (that's glare on the reverse image)

What exactly are these things called? PCGS is calling it "10C", but it is not actually a dime, is it?

Very Nice , but my issue with this is with the U.S. Mint . How could they have created this new version of the Mercury dime without FSB . I blame the engraver and or designer .  < Fuzzy317 > , hope I didn't through a monkey wrench into your new auction pick up or any other member that has recently acquired this Gold Merc . BTW , I realize that only a chosen few Mercury dimes were struck with FSB , but I would have thought a brand new 2016 version of this Dime certified and graded by PCGS as SP-70 would exhibit FB ,If not for nothing but to satisfy Mercury dime affectionardo's .

T-BOP, no worries. I am happy with the coin, and that's what matters.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does a grade of "SP70" represent? The "70" I get, but I've never seen a "SP" prefix before.

SP stands for Specimen.

I've been waiting for the price to drop. That's not happening.
