Default my first Merc Dime 1942

Hello all,
Last night while out hunting a meteorite we witnessed fall, I found my first merc dime of all places in a cow pasture. It is a 1942 Merc Dime. I wish it was one of the error coins, but it is not. However it is in really good condition, all of the marks on it were from being in my pocket after the find. Here are a few photos.







Happy Hunting,
Joe Kerchner
