uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 01/03/2026 12:30 am Sharing a coin I purchased back on the 80's when they were some how affordable to get ( I paid $45 bucks on a coin shop "Gulf cost coins" in Houston tx but expensive for me those years ) and still in my collection a nicely circulated 1942/1 Mercury dime ( one of my favor coins set to collect) .

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 01/04/2026 10:41 pm A 1985 dollar had approximately 3x the buying power of today. For $135, I would say that uruman knocked it out of the park. Report this Post to the Staff
