Man, one day I want to dig up a Mercury dime. That's my wish. Clearly a beautiful coin, I am already planning on making it into a ring for myself. In Canada though, that is pretty hard to do, and although some of us have done it, I am still trying... Here in Canada our clad has higher denominations and we can rack up huge clad values when hunting, but you Americans have us totally beat in the old sliver coin design department. Your coins are truly hawt! That walking Liberty should be framed! That's all I have to say. Thank you for listening.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724242#msg-1724242Tue, 21 May 2013 14:30:49 -0500 Phorum 5.2.18 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1725319#msg-1725319 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1725319#msg-1725319And the mercury is my favorite US coin. But
since I live in Sweden I guess it will be tough to find
one here:-)

But Silver was the coin that was mentioned in this post and specifically the Mercury Dime

I could also say that the Large Cents and Bust Dimes,etc are also lovely and beautiful

I am always thrilled to find a Barber and a Seated but stylistically the Merc, SLQ and WLH are just really Beautiful

There was no intention to "Dis" the others

It was when the Presidents started becoming our Coins that Beauty was no longer a Factor in production of Coins

Finding a Old Silver is worth more to me than a 100 Clad

Actually, when I detected in Canada the ET had to be introduced to the Loonies and Toonies because it rejected it as Trash because of the Metal that is used for productionof the Coins

But I agree with you about some of our old Silver, in my opinion the Mercury, Standing Liberty and Walking Liberty Half are some of the most beautiful Coins I have seen

It is even better when you actually find them, I have not yet found my Walking Liberty Half

I have found a Canadian 1890 Queen Victoria ten cent and a 1906 Edward V11 ten cents and they are pretty coins and were a thrill to find

I also want to note that our Silver Roosevelt and Silver Mercury have the same value but not to me I Always prefer finding the Merc!

(Of course finding Barber's and Seated is very also Exciting)

Good Luck and HH]]> banditicey Minelab E-TRAC ForumMon, 18 Jun 2012 10:40:51 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724446#msg-1724446 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724446#msg-1724446My favorite thing to find with a detector!]]> Coilfisher Minelab E-TRAC ForumSun, 17 Jun 2012 20:59:18 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724377#msg-1724377 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724377#msg-1724377 GotSilver?

When you do find your first Mercury dime I hope its in better condition than the one I found yesterday. Its too bad its so heavily corroded because it has very little wear.]]> Agseeker Minelab E-TRAC ForumSun, 17 Jun 2012 17:48:32 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724263#msg-1724263 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724263#msg-1724263 khouse Minelab E-TRAC ForumSun, 17 Jun 2012 16:36:26 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724242#msg-1724242 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1724242,1724242#msg-1724242
