Also, it seems to be double struck in some places. The date possibly or the 's'? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

MelBee111 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 04:07 am Thank you! I'm learning but it's like a never-ending college course. I have many strange coins and will try to get my microscope to work right and post more and clearer pics. What are you thinking as far as closer pics go for this coin? Lettering, obverse, reverse? Mint mark/date? I know it's not in great condition. Could certainly use a friend called Eyes4error! :) Report this Post to the Staff

Your Mercury dime has been well loved and is quite worn in addition to that rim bruise. I don't see any mint errors--just honest circulation wear.
