You can get high grade ones (read: AU/BU) in the late 30s and 40s for $3-$4, including shipping if you look hard enough on ebay. I would suggest getting those. Welcome to the community! Edited by 0xDA71D

I collect Mercury dimes by date and mint , have 3 nice circulated sets minus the 16-D & 21's . I am not a silver stacker , nor do I want to be one . Numismatic Classic collector is what I live for .  |

You need to talk to justcarl.  I sold my complete set (minus 4 coins) for melt value. Shows how much I care. I do have a nice example for my type set. That's all I need. |

There is a guy at my monthly coin show that sells Mercs for $1.25-$1.30 a piece. I pick out the non-damaged, evenly worn ones. I've only been buying these from him recently as it's the best deal I have found for these. He also has Barber dimes for $2 a piece around the same grade, but does not have them as often. I believe silver stacking is buying coins for their silver content, not so much rarity or condition. If you bought 20 Mercury dimes from 1944 that are F condition, and do so every so often, I believe that would be silver stacking. Edited by mail187man

I loOK for at least G to Xf grade that's probably why they run a little higher

I get them for melt value at my LCS. I don't necessarily collect them, but every week I buy and sell and am able to keep a few dimes, quarters, etc. to build up my little silver stash. Depends on area, but ebay does have some ok deals if you buy in bulk and are patient. |

Stacking is just buying coins or silver and holding onto it for long term some people think silver will make a big jump in price on of these days

Every single one I've bought, outside of the keys, I got at melt, many on ebay & CL.  |

Thanks for the explanation. That box of Mercury dimes sure is a pretty sight. |

Well, some coin shops allow you to pick Mercs out of a bin.
Got a 25-S for melt a couple days ago.

 fair1969!  I have a set but it is very low grade. Most came from silver junk bins along the years and I bought a couple of low grade semi keys off ebay. The 1916D was the first slabbed coin I ever bought. An AG-3 and I broke it out of the plastic for my album. That was the first album I ever completed. I was so excited! Fast forward to today....I am getting ready to take the coins out of the album and pass along the 1916D to a new owner so they can complete their set. |

My last batch of purchase had 4 1926-S in VG to near Fine, plus others from G to EF. Average to be around VF that breaks down to $1.37 each.
