My first Mercury Dime

[caratjuice]

Got out today on Thanksgiving morning for about 45 minutes. It was awful cold so I quit early. But I found this dime, my first Merc, so I had to post it and show you all. Hope you all have a nice Holiday.

Thats what I thought too. Can you compare the mintmark to another s mint mercury dime?
I found a micro s a number of years ago. I don't think they are worth a whole lot more, but they make a nice variety in a collection.

It does look like an "N" but I think it's an "S"

Thanks for the congrats. It does look like it could be a micro S. I didn't even know there was a difference. You learn the darnedest things on this forum.

Congratuations on your first Merc. I have now dug many...but I still get that same snide grin when I unearth one. They are one of my very favorite coins to dig.
