LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1263 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:04 pm The biggest mistake I've made in the hobby is collecting Roosevelts instead of Mercury dimes when I got into collecting. That's not to say I didn't buy any Mercury dimes, in fact I have a well circulated collection. However I never really got into high grade examples. Anyway curiosity got the best of me and I'm now on a journey to find better grade teens and twenties branch mint coins with close to FB. I also came across a circulated 36-s overdate recently. Anyway I'm having a lot of fun hunting for older Mercury dimes. I don't think I'll purchase any 1940s coins unless I find a cool variety though as certified seems like a waste (I know, you may argue having any certified is a waste). I love the design of the Mercury dime and some of the early dates are MUCH more challenging than I could have imagined so this should be fun.. For any collectors out there - What did you look for when buying certified Mercury dimes? Did you go for FB? Would love to see any favorites from your collection too!

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11963 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:43 pm Oh boy... I own 2 certified Mercury dimes... Looked for coins that interested me. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

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. Report this Post to the Staff
