A couple of old Dimes 1916-?

[Fire Fighter 43]

These are from a 3 hour hunt today at ,you guessed it, the grove. The CTX with the 6 inch coil has made this site open up again. It is slow tedious work but well worth the effort. Both of these dimes had iron in the hole with them. The barber is a 1913 and it had a rusty bottle cap in the hole. The Merc is a 1916 PLAIN and it had two rusty nails in the hole. Some day I'm going to see that D on the 16 Merc. I also got a 1911 and 1954-D wheat along with some clad.

That 1916 is in great shape though. Great coins. WD

WTG on getting some hidden keepers. Heck I would settle for just a plain old 1916 merc. Seems like every time you go back with your new 6" coil you find some great keepers. Your 1916 is a beauty and :congratsn your keepers.

Congrats on the two old dimes, Jeff! The Merc has very little wear. Great coin! First year Mercs don't turn up too often. I'm still looking for my first 1916-D too.

:congrats:
