NYNeil New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 8:26 pm I have 25 Mercury dimes I have been collecting as I see them and just was wondering what I should be looking out for. Are there any particular errors worth checking for? I really do not know how to tell if something is DD some of them look different in color, I have this problem especially in my Half Dollars I will post up. dates are from: 1918 (This one is like half the size in thickness than all the rest. Maybe not half but so much so I can clearly tell a difference. It could just be worn it has no reeding either) 1923 1927-S 1929 - 4 1936 1937 - 7 1938-D 1941 - 2 1943 - 4 (2xS/1xD) 1944 1945 - 2 Oh EDIT: 1 of the 1941 is a 1941-S 1 of the 195 is a 1945-S going through I also found the 1938 one I have is 1938-D 1943-S 1927-S 1943-S 1943-D So I will update the original list.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 8:49 pm Have you check them for mint-marks, or are they all Philly issues? The mint-mark would be located at the bottom of the reverse between the "E" in "ONE" and the olive branches. Report this Post to the Staff

googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 07:41 am the list all looks like common dates to me, the 1918 is just worn down from being so old. A lot of the older teens mercs appear this way. The varieties stated above are the ones I knew so I can't help you anymore there. I am by no means an expert though. Slowly getting a set together is all. Good luck mercs are my favorite coin Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 1:32 pm None of the ones you have are particularly rare, but the '27-S is probably the least common of the bunch, and worth a bit of a premium if it's in very nice condition. Report this Post to the Staff
