So then that would be a "Date" set. Are you going with all slabbed coins?

Got 113 Mercury dimes this past weekend. It was fun sorting them out. Now I just need to get a Dansco album. Starting a new series has been a long time coming.

What the......? Are you kidding me?  That is...... sensational. I'm thinking the price was too. Goodness gracious. Congratulations, sir. You'll be a hard act to follow.

Dollar pattern - most impressive, not the sort of thing we see here very often. Congrats!

Here's a good write-up. The coin is an alloy of silver, gold and copper. http://rickspedigreecoins.blogspot....ns-1879.htmlI've wondered if this coin is a candidate for breakout and conservation with NGC. That would possibly restore some original color and luster, but as with most things... it is likely best to leave it as-is. It's currently in an old green holder from PCGS. Opinions welcome...
