...a circulated 1936-S overdate... Uhh  that's a new one on me; never heard of that "overdate", but after looking up a tad more, I saw an older 2018 thread mentioned one of those but results came back inconclusive at best? My only slabbed and certified Merc dime is a 1916-D in the opposite grade of NS, a low-ball PCGS AG-3 with a green bean CAC sticker.  |

Both my Roosevelt and Mercury dime sets are in Dansco albums, so nothing certified for me.  Nice examples in this topic though!  |

Wonderful dimes guys. I think a nicely toned winger is one of the most stunning examples of American coinage from the 20'th century. I always wanted a 1916 D but I guess I was forced into bullion due to age and a need to leave something easily turned over for my surviving family.
Still I'd like to pick off a few High end Mercurys in the next year. They are a wonderful design.

My near complete (missing two) merc collection, all pulled from circulation during my teenage years, was stolen from the family home one summer while we were away on a cross country vacation trip to the Seattle worlds fair. This was well before the days of any brand of certification. I have the means to replace that cherished childhood collection by shopping ebay or buying overpriced coins from eager dealers, but not the heart to do so. The thrill of pulling many of the best specimens from the lunch counter change dishes in eighth grade like the near uncirculated 1916 and xf 1921 I found there can never be replaced. |

I would never underestimate the sentimental value of such a collection. It is why I do not upgrade—these are the coins I collected when I was young! When I wanted a nicer set of Ikes, I assembled a second set of certified examples.  |

Quote:I have a full set of Mercury dimes (no 1942/41) in Raw, including the 16D... But I never had an interest in doing the set in Slabbed... I do have a few slabbed Mercury (Winged Liberty) dimes... Looking good! |

That 16-d ms66fb is incredible!! I also enjoyed seeing the error coin and some of the toners posted! I picked up several certified dimes from the teens, twenties, and thirties but this 31-d pcgs ms64fb is the star of the show so far.   |
