just carl: That's total coins. I have my mercs in 2X2s currently and will move to the Dansco once I'm finished. I haven't added varieties like the 42/1 yet to my 'need to complete' list, but I will likely once I've got regular issues covered.  |

Nice job! I just bought the rest of the commons today, all done, unless you count the overdates and micro s. I dont know if it's considered a full set w/o those overdates and the micro, but next tax season I might just buy them so theres no argument.

I don't consider them required for a full set, but most people probably include the micro S. I don't see why that one usually has a hole, but not other mint-mark varieties like the 1928 large-S, or the types of 1917 get no love. The micro S isn't hard though unless you're going for FB in MS-65 or something, so might as well fill that hole.

brew_crew, is that all done with commons? or all done with everything except overdate and micro? Meaning you have the 1916D.

Yeah, I'm all done with it except the overdates and the micro s. I had a thread a month ago about the 16d when I bought it. It got an AG3 grade, paid $511 after the grading and everything.

You're getting very close to the finish line! Congratulations on getting this far. It's exciting to get very close to completing a series. I'm only 3 away from my Buffalo nickel collection and know what you're experiencing. Let us know when it's complete. |

The other two I may be waiting for a while. 1921 D and 1916 D in a respectable grade are a pretty big investment. One I'm not able to make right now. A couple sets are only a few away, Lincoln Cents, Liberty nickels, Mercury dimes, Walking Liberty halves, etc. |

Nice.
I only have 3 more to go (1916D and the pair of 1921's) but my set is nowhere near as nice condition.
Congrats.

Nice dime! Wow, 2 more to go! What are the last 3 dates that you need?  2 more and what are the last 3?Quote:

That is one of those many things some manufacturers of coin Albums and Folders do that irritates a lot of collectors. Yes your right. There are numerous other Mercury dimes with large and small Mint Marks and yet only the 45 gets recognition. Might be due to the first one noticed or something like that. Some have a slot for the 42/41 and not the 42D/41 too. A recent big discussion about that lousy 22 Plain Lincoln Cent too. So why the slot for the 3 legged Buffalo nickel? With any and/or almost all coins it appears the manufacturer of the Album or Folder you use determines what your collection should be. |

Dansco albums have slots for the 3-legged and the 1918/7-D, although not the 1916 DDO or the 1914/3. Although, to speak Devil's advocate in favor of the micro S, it is the most distinctive mintmark variety. Some of the others are subtle, or there is a distinct difference in style, but the sizes are mostly the same, but the micro S is MUCH smaller than a regular S. |
