Thanks Smoke ! I had fun getting all the coins for her, I have everything bought now and just waiting for them to roll in. You would think the 42/1 was made of gold, some of the prices were way out there. I made quite a few offers on a couple that I felt would fit with the album and I finally had someone accept my price. I still had to pay more than I did for the 16-D but it is what it is. I'm pretty happy with all my selections and ya gotta love ebay for being able to sit at home and look at thousands of old coins. Thanks TJ !  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

i was thinking of starting a merc. album. I just bought a roll of the stuff a while back, and it'll go nicely with the fact that I have a 1916-P (ag03) to start it off. Silver is on the rise, so no way I'm selling just yet.

The 1916d is the reason I never did this set as I don't think I would ever complete it, love mercs and want to do AU and MS and man even that alone is expensive without throwing in the 16d.

The nice thing about those old Library of Coin Albums is that they tone up coins nicely. If you ever are at a show and you see a dealer have the one or more of the three Barber series in these albums and they have obviously been in there for years LOOK at those coins right then and now. This will give you an idea of what that kind of tone is and you will remember how to spot it so you can buy it.

Any idea for a cost for the "better" album? I'm trying to put together a AU/BU Dansco Merc Album, and was just curious if you had a rough avg price/coin. Really a tuff question. Especially when you get to ones like the 16D, 21, 21D and even the 26S. 42/41 and 42D/41 too are excessive in costs. By the way why not use a Whitman Classic Album like I do.  I keep forgetting this is a Dansco Forum.  Fantastic going there 52Raymo. Going to make a great Album. No place for the 42D/41? Quote:

Oddly enough you would be amazed at how many 16D's appear at coin shows. Even at some of the smaller coin shows I go to, I always see a few of them. At some of the larger shows, I've seen as many as 10 to 20 of them. Naturally the main problem would be to not take a chance with one not in a slab. And even then, with all the fake slabs, that too is not an easy thing to try for. I'm trying to put together a complete set of Mercury dimes with all FSB's. Long way to go. And from what I'm finding out, the 45 will be the costliest one of all. Edited by just carl

No, there's no spot for the 42D/41 but I do have some extra holes at the end that I could put one in and I might do that. I put an extremely worn Merc in one of the holes just because I liked the looks of it and it had obviously been circulating for a long time.   Quite possibly a 16-D...
