90% Silver 1945 Mercury Dime This is one of 10 silver dimes from my birth time/. My g-grandmother from Germany ( living in Jersey) crocheted me a dress and one for my doll. With the dress for me was/is a little crocheted purse that carried 10 Silver dimes, mostly Mercury, a couple of Roosevelt dimes. No shown mint marks, they were close to Phila, so probably why. These were added to the purse in 1950 +/-. Never removed from the purse after that but traveled many miles. Now....no one to give them to, & I want to share with collectors knowing the provenance. This one weighs 2.48 grams and is 17.68 mm diameter. Enlarge for details and ask any questions. Detail is very good at 10 yrs old and in storage for 70 years.
I love that you took the time to give us the back story/history of this dime and how it came to be in your possession! Such a sweet cherished memorable tale and keepsake; I hope whoever wins it cherishes the story as well :)
