Can you post a pic of some of the Mercs you toned in the Wayte Raymond folder? Out of curiosity, I checked ebay for toned Roosevelt dimes, and I stumbled across a guy selling a ton of heat toned Roosevelts. Way too vibrant. |

Just get the '16-D in the highest, slabbed grade you can afford and you're done! Don't bother with the rest of them.

I would say forget about the 16-D and focus on upgrading everything else. Trust me, having everything in decent grade except the 16-D looks much, much better than having everything except the 16-D in low grade.

No set rules to buy the 16-D first, sometime getting the rest takes longer, its the eye appeal you are after.

It's awesome seeing the mental battle I'm having in the words of others.

Start with a slabbed 16-D (Too many raw counterfeits), If you can afford that one then the rest are a piece of cake! Far from true. I've spent a long time looking for certain dates in that series. The 42D/41 if not that easy to find in any grade. And, pending grade, many others are just not available. And if you do have a set in any kind of Folder, I strongly suggest taking all of them out and putting them in some kind of Album. For Silver coins I always suggest Whitman Classic Albums since the Silver shows up so much more in a Dark Blue background. You've got a great start so go to lots of coin shows if you can find them. Continue upgrading little by little. And if you think the 16D is a tuff one, try finding a 45 with FSB's. |

Interesting article, thank you for sharing.  I have no doubt I will eventually buy a 1916-D in well circulated condition. It is the last hole. I have to fill it. Eventually.  |

Thanks for sharing the article, thecoinguy1964. This confirmed my thoughts that each coin in the set should be about the same grade. Now, I just need to decide if I'm going raw or TPG...  |

Mine are probably the same-ish grade at best. They range from G to VF for the most part, although a few are probably XF.

The set my grandfather gave me ranges from AG to vg/vf, all coins found in circulation. I think I've settled on upgrading his collection to the vf-xf range, xf-au 1940 and beyond. Step one picking an album and moving grandpa's coins out of the old Whitman 3 panel folder.

Sounds like a good start nfine. @jbuck....my 1916D is a cracked out of a slab AG3. Someday I am planning on moving up a grade or two but for now the whole is "plugged". |
