From a coin show last Sunday I purchased the one last coin needed to make a complete FSB set of Mercury dimes. Went to safe deposit box today to get Albums to enter newest coins. It is in a slab from PCGS and graded MS-65FSB. Now on my way back to garage to cut it out of slab. This makes set #1 now complete with all FSB coins including the 16D, 42/41, 42D/41 and even the famous 45. Now working on set #2 of 12 sets.
Rest in Peace

This is truly amazing. A set like that would make a perfect subject for making a "perfect" Mercury dime photo album for a resource book.

You know , the more I dwell on this astronomical achievement by Carl the more I'm wondering how many other people in the USA ( collectors ,investors ) have put together a COMPLETE set of FSB Mercury dimes .
One ,three , none ?
