Mercury Dimes, Remaining. Four Mercury dimes--1941 to 1945--lie packeted together. Ready to give as a little Christmas gift to my grandson. I had originally thought he would have enjoyed Exchanging numismatic thoughts about coins together-- A subject to possibly bind our friendship. But sadly, he will not talk nor visit' My days, at my age, are running out. Perhaps I shall never have such fantasized joy. A decade or more of pending possibility: One can only wait and savour those things that do remain. Frank Maurer 25 Dec 2022 2004 hours
