I went on Friday to my local coin shop, he just got a full set of Proof
Mercury dimes in, and I needed to see them. In my price range, I had 2 that were close in price, one had a CAC and when I looked it also had a finger print. I took the lower grade one but it is in old green label PCGS.
Happy to add it to my collection. I actually got into the high 60's on the registry set, but today I cleaned up all my sets to add all my coins so I can get my ranking up, so my score on the registry set went down as I moved a few coins around.
My ranking did go from from 2565 to 2441 and all coins except 1 are on a registry set, so I'm happy.
The coin.


The moral of this post is too ALWAYS buy the coin, don't buy the grade or the green bean, buy the coin!
