I inherited my grandfathers decent coin collection a few years ago and never really investigated these until now. I will probably be posting a lot as I go through these. I have a 1945 Mercury dime with an odd mark struck into the coin. Has anyone ever seen something like this? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

So basically you have a damaged coin. It is still a silver coin and worth silver melt. (sentimental value maybe higher because it was from your grandfather. Report this Post to the Staff
