FlyingTiger Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 7:19 pm I was swing shift manager at a grocery store and spotted this in the change dispenser at a register because I had an eagle eye for silver coins.When I pulled it out of the changer it was a 1916 Mercury.I slowly turned it over and thought oh please let it be a D.I was disappointed but kept it all these years.Looking closer what do you think!

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 10:08 pm The MM should be in this area: like this: Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

FlyingTiger Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 11:05 pm Thanks for all your input,it's much appreciated.That is a strange mark near the D you must admit.To bad it isn't a 1916-D that would be so cool if it was a worn down D.Dimes were the most silver back in the day I would find probably because they were so small they didn't stick out to most people.Hardly ever found quarters.
