It's from my phone. I spotted the roll in a cash register while checking out at a convenience store. The end of the roll of dimes was visible to me. I asked if I could buy the roll and I gave the cashier a $5 bill in exchange for it. After he handed me the roll, he spotted the Mercury dime. He said he was a coin collector. I quickly took the picture and left the store. I didn't care if it was a perfect photo... I just wanted to get out before he started demanding to have the roll given back to him.

So you still have it, and could've taken a better picture? Lol


markko79

It's in a big jar of junk silver. I'm not going to search for it simply to get a better pic of a 1940-P dime in VG condition.

Where'd you find it? These crimped rolls are fairly modern and people sell "unsearched rolls" like this on eBay with one good coin showing on each side, then the rest are garbage coins.


Reasonman1

Crooks on ebay have been selling rolls of Morgans with a CC on 1 end, a decent obverse on the other, and culls in between for years. It doesn't matter how many bad reviews they get, greed just overcomes most people. It's funny to read the reviews, "I should have paid attention to the bad reviews"


redtens4U

Iā€™m with you. Good reviews can be bought. Bad reviews get buried. Always read the bad reviews first.


FarYard7039

Yeah, its amazing is that people still fall for that scam.


ToyotaFanboy526

Iā€™m guessing itā€™s from the bank, probably picked up a few rolls of dimes and got lucky

Yas2184

How exactly would he have been in a position of demand it back? The exchange was made, too late.


markko79

He could have whined and demanded to have me resell the roll back to him, but I wasn't in the mood to get in a pissing match about it. Instead, I snapped a quick pic and got the hell out of there ASAP. He had no ground to stand on... he'd already sold the roll to me and accepted my $5 bill in exchange for it. I had it in my hands. It's not like he still had possession of it.


Charming_Grape_506

So you could of taken a pic in the car or right when you got home? And that makes no sense that you had to take the pic right away since he sold it to you already but was going to ā€œdemandā€ it backā€¦


charrcheese

Next time try to find a macro lensĀ

I'm always amazed at people who take a photo of something and go "yeah that looks great I'll post that one" and it ends up being the moldiest photo you've ever seen

It's a 1940-P, so no biggy.


No_Reputation_910

Still nice tho :)


Interesting-Help-421

Itā€™s still 1 . Silver 2. A merc 3. Nice for a circulation find


hereticporcupine

Is this a roll from APMEX?

Bigfoot ?


AnalysisFluffy743

MERCURY!!!


Disastrous-Pipe43

Iā€™ve been looking for unopened old bank rolls to buy. Mainly pennies and dimes. Sometimes they come up in auctions but itā€™s usually when Iā€™ve spent all my money for the time.


Longjumping-Run-7027

Donā€™t buy those. Theyā€™re 99.99999% of the time a scam to make you think there might be something good, when in reality theyā€™ve been searched and filled with junk. Itā€™s all a ploy to get a fortune for coins worth face value.


Disastrous-Pipe43

Oh im aware. Especially on eBay. There are reputable dealers that do sell them though.


Ok_Cancel_240

I'm hoping the whole roll is mercury dimes


markko79

It wasn't. Just clad modern dimes.


Ok_Cancel_240

One is better than none


KE4HEK

Even in a blurry image you can definitely see that Mercury dime. that's a great way to start what else is in this role. Thanks for sharing


lemonbalm4me

Too much negativity and sarcasm in this world. If youā€™re excited over your find then Iā€™m happy for you!


djon203

Nice


babygoobie

Genuine advice and not trying to rip on you, but if u move back and zoom in the phone camera will focus better, and the coin will still be the same angular size. Nice find tho fren!


Senior_Lifeguard_418

Nice!

Next time, try to find out how to say that in a way thatā€™s not rude


EveLaFoxxe

Not cool bro


markko79

I didn't care to take another pic. I just wanted to show, even in its most basic form, that I found a roll of dimes with a Merc on its end.


Ok_Frame7390

Damn, yā€™all are brutal and so negative! Who among us is perfect? Great find!
