First hunt of 2014 and BAM! I get a beautiful 1939D Mercury that is in Fine shape and comes out of the sand nice and shiny!! What a great start to the year!!
It was a dreary off and on drizzly day - perfect conditions for me so I took off to the beach for my 1st hunt of the year. Hunted the wet and dry sand for 3 hours. Scored the Merc, a 1950D Wheatie, a Chuckie and a decent $5.43 of total. Looking forward to the rest of 2014...
(DISCLAIMER: No, the 1939D is not a “key date” so it’s technically not rare. What does make it rare is that this is only my 3rd Mercury dime since I started this hobby in 2006. Plus, as any hunter down here will tell you, any silver coinage on a SouthFla beach is rare).
