An update on the cherry picked 21-D Mercury Dime 0

[RCBEGA]

You may remember back in March I posted about a 21-D merc my daughter and I cherry picked out of a dealers junk silver bin. More than a few believed it was not a genuine coin. 

 

NGC finished with it today and it is indeed genuine, however they decided it showed evidence of cleaning. 

While I'm disappointed it didn't get a straight grade it's hard to really complain when I paid $2.50 for it...

I remember that well. That's awsome that it's genuine tho. To bad for the details. Still a very awsome junk drawer find. I'd take those everyday.

Congratulations my friend. Tell your daughter Congratulations to.

Absolutely. I wasn't planning on trying to flip it for a profit or anything. For me it's a great memory with my daughter, the budding young collector.

That's what life's all about. You and her will always have that memory. That's very special.

Congrats I was concerned that the shape of the 2 was incorrect, happy for you and happy to be wrong on this occasion.
