On July 21, 1961, after a successful mission and splashdown, explosive hatch-release bolts on the space capsule Liberty 7 blew unexpectedly and the craft quickly flooded. Astronaut Gus Grissom nearly drowned in the ensuing melee. Grissom, in reference to his struggle for survival in the Pacific was later quoted: "I had brought along two rolls of fifty dimes each for the children of friends, three one dollar bills, some small models of the capsule and two sets of pilot's wings. These were all adding weight that I could have done without." Naturally - in honor of Mercury Program - the dimes he carried were Mercs. - I'm just sure this must be one of them. (Hey! It's my collection - humor me...)
