Another Merc; things are getting back to normal

[halfdime]

Another morning at the silver farm, and, due to heavy rain yesterday, I stayed out of the woods. I was rewarded with another 42 Merc, sharing a hole with a 50 Jefferson nickel. Alas, there was no D on the Jeff. Monday, I can start again near the silver-laden cottages; hopefully, I'll be able to report multiple silvers again. The rain yesterday was helpful; it was starting to get really dry around here.

Yeah those mercs sure are pretty. I have silver fever so bad, I just can't get my coil over any old stuff lately.

Mercs are awesome. One of my favorite coins to find...

Silver is always good, keep them coming.

Glad to hear you got the rain. That's a real sweet Merc! I know you'll find more when you get back around the cottages. Way to go!

Congrats on the Merc. I agree with others, that is a great coin. I really love the designs on all of the older American coins. And of course with a Merc being my first ever silver find I will always have a warm place for them.

Congrats HD.
It must have been 42' Merc day yesterday? That was the same year I found too.

If I was a little less lazy, I'd look up the mintage. Okay, I did: except for the 44, there were way more 42's minted than any other Merc. This explains why we find so many.

HD,
I don't know why, but I seem to find way more Mercs than I do the 60's type silver dimes. I think I've only found one or two of those.
