Let me know if you want a olde style slab ANACS EF-40 42/41? If your local dealers don't have it.
I think I also have a extra F-12 or 15 21-P and 21-D dime.

Weezer, aside from the over dates and 26S, I gotcha covered iffin you want to shoot me an email.
I agree that the over dates do not constitute a necessary part of a full set. HOWEVER, I am certainly going to strive to get them at some point.

And the other weird one is the 45 Micro S. At one time it was thought to be the only large and small Mint Mark Mercury dime. Now more and more are appearing and some are already noted in the Red Book. Whitman has had a slot for the 45 Micro S for a long time. Same with the 42/41 and recently the 42D/41. Whitman has a habit of putting way to many slots for many coins that many people think should not be there. I wonder when Whitman will have the numerous other large and small Mint Marks in their Albums. Since you already have many in 2x2's, why not continue that. You can get those 20 slot plastic pages for a 3 ringed note book and make your own Album. Doing that you have the ability to add or not any coins you don't want in your collection. |

The micro S is in pretty much every album, but at least it's not a back-breaker like the over-dates. The micro-S is not a tough coin unless you're one of the freaks who needs them all in full bands, and we've got all kinds of other monkeys on our back.
Thank goodness there aren't holes for 1928-S small/large S, 1934-D small/large D, 1941-S small/trumpet-tail S, 1942-S and 1943-S trumpet-tail/large S, 1944-S large/knob-tail S, 1945-S knob-tail/trumpet-tail/micro S. For that matter, nobody seems to even acknowledge the two distinct sub-types of 1917 and corresponding mint-mark styles, let alone make holes for them...

Lol, but Cap we both know that some day all of those are going to be needed for a truly complete set; especially the two 17s. Glad I have mine already. Kinda like being a Peace dollar collector and needing both the "attached" and "detached" olive branch varieties of 1922. |

The Mercury dimes have small/large dates? Hmm. I had no idea. I apparently need to dive into Mercury dimes more. I've been looking more at Morgans, Buffalos and pennies. |

It's large and small mintmarks, not large and small dates.

I see. I started reading about them. Have no idea which ones I have. I may have the 1944 knob tail s, but I can't be sure. Full bands, too

I have the 45 Micro S. I even have the 05 Micro O Barber dime. But I was not aware there were THAT many Merc varieties. |

That's just the mintmark styles, not getting into doubled dies or RPMs.

If Whitman reads this they'll change all their Albums to contain those too. |

It could be worse. Most albums have holes for 1922 plain cents and three-legged Buffalo nickels. Imagine if there were holes for broken-nose Mercury dimes! |
