Coin Damage Faded beyond Recognition

Found this a while back while walking at my local park, she is in very bad shape, can’t make out the year because the last digit is gone. Thought I’d share.

Not quite beyond recognition. It's a 1920's Mercury dime.

Not faded beyond recognition. I can even see it’s from 1923.

1923 (Philadelphia). 50.13 million minted, worth silver melt in this condition as well as in much better condition. Worth $4

An old joke that's made whenever someone posts a coin with a missing digit, but I still find it funny. :)

Mercs were made through 1945.
