I got this cull Mercury dime a long time ago. I think I got it as junk silver. Can't remember how much I paid for it at the time, but I don't think it was much.   Errers and Varietys.

Not a true Lowball, it is a damaged cull.
By definition a Lowball is in the range of PO01- AG-03
and must be idenitfyable by the type, date and mint mark.
The wear must be natural and cannot be damaged.
The only criteria yours meets is the type. You cannot
make out the date or mintmark.
Still worth it's value in silver though.

Good to see you changed the heading from "Lowball " to " Cull".
Makes more sense now.

I'll probably leave the coin as is for now. Maybe in the future I can experiment on it.

Melter for sure

It's nothing, but a melter. At least it's worth almost 5.00 in silver melt value. Errers and Varietys.

At this point, it probably has sentimental value at least.  |
