dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 05/01/2009 3:35 pm i received this 1925S merc. dime as change (sort of). a server at one of the local restaurants I go to often, saved this coin she said came out of a roll of dimes from their till. knowing that I enjoy collection coins - she saved it and gave it to my in my change. I really know very little about grading these, but the lunch cost less than $9.00, and this was part of my change. fairly good find - in my opinion. grades or values would be appreciated. thanks.

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 05/01/2009 5:23 pm By the looks of the scan I would say VG-8 with a value of around $5. A better pic may reveal a low fine range at around $8-$10. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 04:51 am too much detail in the bands for G, more like VG-8 scratched, stronger obverse would bring VG-10 Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 05/05/2009 7:03 pm You should not base your grade of the reverse on the condition of the rims. Rims on Mercury dimes wear quicker on the reverse than the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
