Looks like a nice pickup to me. I would agree with AG-3 for the 21D.

I figure if I could get $100 total for the 4 or 5 key dates then I'd have bought the other 72 coins for just over $1 per coin, or 10x face, about what I used to pay for junk silver. Paid $175 free ship. Some of the coins have a nice album golden/rainbow tone. The 40s coins are in the F to VF range, 30s VG-F, and the 20s and back range from AG to VG with a F here or there. I am sure at least a couple have been wiped but most of them look original, although circulated.

The '21 is possibly details, looks a bit rough on the reverse, the 21-d is a nice original AG (IMO) coin with clearly visible MM.

One day I'll have a 1916-D, but even AG examples are very pricey and I have a hard time with spending over half a grand on an AG coin that's not pre-1900s.

I'm collecting Mercury dimes too. Is $12 for 11 Mercury dimes and a old whitman a good deal?

$12 for 11 dimes is just ahead of $1 per dime so unless they're terribly ugly, it's not a bad price.

Also, I'm not sure how I could obtain better pictures at the moment, those are shot at 24MP through a DSLR, 55mm AF lens using bidirectional warm white and cool blue LED illumination. I haven't finished building my copy stand yet for a hard mount.

G-6 details on the 21P, AG-3 on the 21D, VG details on the 26s, I think it was lightly cleaned and retoned. The 45D, has certainly been cleaned and naturally toned over time. Not worth much more over melt, unfortunately. F details
