Per CONECA there is only 5 Merc Dime varieties for 1916-29 and 11 noted for just 1940-45. So half noted in 3 times the timeframe as 1940s.. Almost every year and Mint have varieties all thru the 40s. Im led to believe this is due to sample sizes and associated costs.. Fairly easy to get bags and bags of better grade 40s and compare vs lower grade teens and twenties. Im sure there’s still discovery pcs to be found for early Mercs. However they would be more difficult to find due to not being able to get these in rolls or bags by date to compare
Just my opinion. The numbers indicate that there is
More to find or the QA process was much better in 1916-1929 than in the 40s.

I have been on two coin forums almost every single day for the past 11 years (hard to believe its been that long!). I remember only one new legit good variety on a non-newly minted coin being found in that time.: the 1919 DDO-001 Mercury dime. There have now been decades of (who knows how many thousands of) collectors searching for varieties and reporting them since the internet was born.

I am always appreciative of the knowledge and information that you guys impart and I thank you for that website. However, what if you stumble onto a find no one has discovered. The chances are slim I know I come to you guys because I don't know and want to know. That's aggravating for the learned sometimes I realize. But, I have three boxes of coins and currency United States and world that my father willed to me. All kinds of proofs, bullions etc. I don't want to make any mistakes. Thanks again

Please refrain from posting your coins here. If you think you found a discovery coin then you go to CONECA's website and in the menu click services, then attribution or examination and click it. You will find the people who attribute discovery coins. Coin groups nor forums can help you with this, you must seek an attributer in the field.
