I'm looking for a 1916d dime or a proof merc, what do you guys think or what would you recommend?

Isn't everyone?
You probably wouldn't like my suggestion since I never sell coins, never have and never will, hopefully. So my suggestion is contrary to everyone elses. BUT I say keep all. And also buy what you can afford in those Mercury dimes too. Most people that buy and sell all the time normally don't care but I like and collect all coins.
Someday in the future you might end up saying "Nuts, why did I sell those?"
I know how you feel about Mercury dimes. I've got well over 3,000 of them. To bad that the Silver prices make them a bit higher in price than just a few years ago.

No I like your suggestion :) thanks for sharing, I do understand your point completely because I was thinking the same. My budget now is tight so that's why I thought selling my Morgans would be a good idea, I'll think it over and make sure I make a smart move, thanks all!

Personally I would go for the 16D since it is the key to the set, and then the rest of the set would not be too hard to complete from there. After I had all of them , then I would start upgrading. BUT - that's just how I like to collect. Some people like nicer coins at first b/c they don't mind the holes in the album as long as the pieces they have are fantastic condition.

As a merc lover on a budget, I have wrestled with this same question. A few years ago, I sold some Barber halves to buy a 1916-d in AG-G. I didn't collect the halves so they were expendable. I still think about it sometimes, but I am happy that I made the purchase. I still hope to upgrade the 1916-d someday if finances permit. Definitely get the key dates first in the best grade you can afford.
