Show us your money!

[Blast]

I have some other coins (Ecuador, Mexico, Canada, a handful of JFK and Anthony coins, Ike and Sacajawea), but this one I think is the most interesting.

Woohoo!  Winged Liberty Head dimes (aka "Mercury dimes")!  ^^

Released between 1916 to 1945, with a 2.5 gram weight composed of 90% silver, 10% copper.  Given current silver and copper prices, the total non-numismatic melt value of a Mercury dime would be $1.16 USD per coin.

So if you have a standard coin roll of 50 of them, then you have a small fortune.  ^___^

But don't be tempted to sell them (unless it's absolutely, positively necessary), as they are (in my opinion, as well as those of others in my field) the last beautiful dimes released in the US.  



And that, despite the troubling symbolism behind the Fasces:

BTW, I would love to see your other coins.  May need to research your Ecuadorian ones, but can probably give a story or two about your others.

Um-hum! Too bad I only have one of them, though. P:

When I was putting it back in its place, though, I remembered I had 1c and 2c South African coins (2nd coinage, 3rd Republic)â€"so scratch that being the most interesting, even if these aren't the most valuable. P: I'll put up some images of the ones I mentioned earlier later (why does that sound weird?).

I got some russian kopeeks from 1740's.
But I'm too lazy to scan them.

And they're not that pretty either...

Well this one is no mine though but it belongs to my younger brother.
