tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 2:22 pm Congratulation on your win! First, the melt value of the 5 dimes is $5, so if you didnt have to pay much postage, it's already a pretty fair deal. That gives you a nice start on a Mercury dime collection (if that is your goal), AND a new type coin! Or, if you don't want the Nickel 3C piece you can sell it off, or maybe trade it for a Mercury date you're missing. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 6:19 pm Although the term "3 cent nickel" is the one most often used, the term "nickel 3 cent" is the correct one. Look it up in your Red Book. Report this Post to the Staff
