A couple of gold/pyrite dipped Mercury dime pics
 

Earlier this year, I purchased some junk silver dimes from my favorite local dealer, and in the mix got a couple of (hopefully) gold dipped Mercury dimes.

I know they aren't numismatic. I see these listed on eBay and would never bother paying a premium for one, but it was interesting to get something out of the ordinary for the price of junk silver. :applause_

kids love these. I gave a few 90% dipped halves to mine and they got a real kick out of it even when I told them they were just the same value as regular junk silver.
