Anyone have a 1920 and/or 1939 Mercury dime(s) VF-EF they want to sell?

I'd say this coin is a VF or EF. Unfortunately my scans are a little blurry and grainy. Its not a series that I have alot of experience grading though, so any opinions are welcome! PM me to make any offer.
I may get some more Mercs posted  for sale this week too. I don't think I have a 1939 though.

I didn't get any email from you. The last I heard from you was a PM asking me how much I wanted for the coin, and I sent you a reply.  :-\

I'm still looking for a 1939 Merc.  I'll pay $10 plus shipping for a XF that anyone wants to sell. Thanks.

Heck, if you're careful, you can use a sharp knife and easily scrape the D off.....or use a Dremel tool to grind it off....Presto, a 1939-(P).

Oh I use the X-ACTO knife to cut the bands a bit deeper.  :o

Title: Re: Mercury dime
Post by: Goose on December 03, 2009, 04:31:15 AM

Now that idea sounds cool. After cutting, a slight buffing, and presto.....'Split Bands'.

Post by: longnine009 on December 04, 2009, 12:47:36 AM

It might also require some metal chasing.  After "Fully Split, Split Bands" comes "Fully Rounded, Fully Split,  Split Bands."   ::) And then you have to eat some deep fried chicken so you can thumb it and dull down that new bright metal. Bet they don't know that one over Beijing.  ;D

These things probably require a good bottle of rum too to keep the hands steady?  ;D

Now your thinking....a little hand stabilizer.
