    Thank you so much! My sweet grandmother never had much money; she worked at a factory. But she loved collecting coins and I just found them! She left a 1945 and a 1945S in amazing condition, with full split bands! Also a 1945D in decent condition. Woo hoo! Thank you for your informative video!! 🙏🏼💗

    ive been watching your videos getting myself up to speed with the coins i have and you've helped out tremendously thank you.
    You mention that youd like feed back on the channel so heres my input.
    very informative and not a lot of extra dead space no need talk.
    What i do recommend is giving the audio a little love if you haven't already. i work with audio which tends to make my ears sensitive to certain frequencies and im sure the majority of people are as well. A quick and easy improvement is to tame the frequency in the 5000hz area. that is where the S's in the voice cut through. there area cheap if not free apps that work. cut the eq around 5000hz just until you dont hear the ssssss anymore or get a compressor to process that. the name of plugins that handle it for you is called a Dsser.
    thanks again.

    Thank you for the video! I enjoyed the information. I checked out the red book on mercury dimes and it did not list any values for full split bands. I use to collect buffalo nickels and had a nice collection of key dates and semi-key dates all graded by either PCGS or NGC in high grades except for the 18/17 was in Vf-20 and I did not own the double-die16 unfortunately. Sold the collection to buy a second home. Home went down in value and coins doubled in value oh well know better next te!

  • @samjohnson466
    @samjohnson466 Před 9 lety

    Only coins from mint sets grade high because they are struck with higher pressures and the dies are cleaned and replaced more often. Regular circulation strikes are generally ms 60. I just don't want people to be mislead into thinking if they buy a roll or bag of mercury dimes, especially if they have been circulated will ever grade better than ms60. Thanks enjoyed your video.

  • @stryver7721
    @stryver7721 Před 8 lety

    Hey there. After watching this video a week or so back, I went to a coin show and bought a roll of mercury dimes for $50. Surprisingly all but 5 in the tube are in AU condition. The only wear on them is of course the middle band on the back. Would any of these be worth anything without FSB? If so, could you let me know years and mint marks to look for?

      @RichardGaston Před 6 lety

      Actually that is wrong, a Collector that is WILLING to pay whatever amount he wishes to pay, which is normally done at Auctions not what you set the price at, they can start the Auction at $45 and then the fun begins. I have seen a auction where the auctioneer started at an item for $1, by the end of the Auction for that $1 item, it sold for over $100, only because the person really wanted it. Same thing with Collectors, they will pay big bucks if they really want that item for their collection.

    I have a 1942d Mercury Dime and on the reverse side. It has a circular double ring that is engraved into the coin which is in the upper part in the facees which encircles around the middle split band. I have searched and searched trying to find a similar one but with no success. It appears it was etched during the dieing process. I does not appear that it was done after it was in circulation. Have you ever heard or seen a dime with this error?

    my name is Brandon and I have been collecting coins for about two years now and my wife came home from work from her restaurant and gave me 2 rolls of mercury dimes, and I didn't have any clue what they were worth, or any of my coins for that matter because I was not looking them up and I don't know whether or not to believe anyone on u-tube cause I know that some people are saying stuff about them that is not true, I am not sure what or who to believe, and I have been watching your videos for a few days now and I have caught myself writing things down to see if I have the stuff that you are talking about! me and my family are not wealthy and living in a 45year old trailer home that is falling apart on us every day and I dream about getting us out of hear, but I have lost my job and my son just broke his arm recently so it just seems more and more far fetched these days! anyway I'm sorry for carrying on but just wanted to thank you for your videos and asking you to keep it up and if I could support you on your site at all I would just let me know!

    Hope you dont mind,but i have another question. Is there a reason 1916 is not on your list there were less 1916 made than the1918d. The 1918d is on the list and the1916 is not. Is there more to it than mintage ? If so whats the deal ?.
    Thanks again,Scott

      Scott Saleff it's a 1916D that's worth the money not the 1916 P unless it grades a 69 or a 70 from PCGS or NGC.its all about what the coin grades.70 is the highest a coin will grade.
