How many different micro s years are there? I've only seen the 1945 micro s listed a few times, got one in a lot I bought from a hobbyist that was getting out of the hobby. But going through my other s mercs, I could swear I've seen others. Of course, my eyes aren't that hot lol Have any of you noticed, or researched this? Thanks again for all your help!

John: There may be other dates, but it would only matter if other sizes were also used that year. Recently, in the last year or so, I wrote to Coin World about a large/small mintmark for the 1916 S Merc. (yes, it is there, and very clear once you compare them). They subsequently listed the variety with someone else's name. Now (I believe) in CherryPickers Guide. |

Thanks everyone! I guess my collection isn't as complete as I thought.....only the album! It's a Whitman 9413, which originally started off it's life as somebody else's'. Currently only missing the 1916 D and the 1942 42/1.

eaglefoot....I'm seriously looking into the certified AG - VG range ones. I've seen them listed for ONLY $825 and up! Saw one I'd love to have, PCGS graded MS65FB.... for a mere $45,900.00! I'll post the link to it if I can?

With over 3,000 Mercury dimes I would say there are numerous other dates with small and large Mint Marks. The only with a slot in my albums is the 45 Micro S but there are many, many more. And those Mint marks are all over the place in location too. I've got some so jammed into the E I can't figure out how they did it. Some ar turned in all directions also. I find about 20% or more of all Mercury dimes have a rotated reverse to some degree also. Always planning on making a display board with the reverses in left rotated to right with small to large degrees. |

Hmmm, I knew about the 2 varieties of "s" for the 1945, but not the 3rd. Is there any posted comparison or other reference? Is it in the 2nd Cherrypicker?

I just picked up a 1941S large in EF for $1.75 plus freight on ebay last week. Some one broke up a set and sold it individually and lucky for me nobody noticed the "S". One of my very few good buys, usually get hammered! nlp |

I have a question regarding the mercs but didn't want to start a new thread. Is the 1923 hard to find in EF, AU grade?

They must be difficult in higher grade. I have 11 of them and the best is VF20. They are all in sets and not for sale individually. nlp

Hey JohnAP, I have a complete set ranging from AG03-MS64. Most are obtainable in several different grade levels. The 16-D I would suggest buying certified by PCGS,NGC,or ANACS. There are so many shady people out there. I would trust no one buying this coin raw. Just my opinion. Mine is a PCGS AG03. Terrific long term investment coin. Mine has already gone up $400 since purchasing it.
