Mercs aren't my specialty so hoping someone with more experience with them can verify. Thanks. 1945 Mercury dime possible struck through Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6114 Posts	Posted 05/08/2019 12:48 pm Yes, indentation running vertically through the head, plus what looks like a bit of loss of detail in places. Unusual looking for a grease-filled die to me, but I do not work with Mercury dimes and so don't know what is the normal look for a Grease Filled Die on one. But it all looks struck through to me, although exactly what or how I do not know. I find worn out die to be less likely. Report this Post to the Staff
