) Promoting the idea of freedom of thought, now that The United States has become Orwellian and a police state. Help to promote the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Impeach Obama before he ends all freedom. He is not a natural born citizen, why is he steal president. Get that impeachment going.

EVERYTHING WAS SO WONDERFUL, SAID THE STEPFORD WIFE. I COULD NOT LIVE UNTIL I GOT THIS COIN. IT JUST MADE MY DAY. THE COIN WAS LOVINGLY AND CAREFULLY WRAPPED. IT WAS SENT IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE THEY COULD SEE ME COMING. I WOULD DEFINITELY DO BUSINESS WITH HITLER, JBEFORE I WOULD PAY ANOTHER JUNK PIECE OF OLD, AND POOR CONDITION SILVER, NOT WORTH EVEN $3.OO. AGAIN, IT WAS "WONDERFUL, A WONDERFUL", PARDON ME MR. GODFREY. I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO SAY, SO BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, DON'T DEAL WITH THEM, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

The "Mercury Dime" is one-of-a-kind coin unparalleled in U.S. coin design.

) There is much confusion about the design on the obverse of this coin. The so called "Mercury Dime" is actually a Winged Liberty. Most people think it depicts Mercury, the Messenger, when in fact, the designer intended to depict the freedom of thought. It is a purely graphic solution of an interesting idea, and often confused. It is one of my favorite coin designs, because it takes a major departure from all other coins ever designed in the U.S. Most coins simply feature an effigy of a president, a person, an eagle or a generic female 'Liberty'. To my knowledge, it is the only U.S. coin to feature a purely graphic rendition of a powerful idea. It is one of a kind in numismatics, and well worth collecting. Most are very affordable, except for the 1916-D, which costs a small fortune in any kind of desirable condition. Of all the coins that are available to collect, the Mercury Dime stands alone.
Buy yerself one.
