Quote:I haven't posted a pickup for 3 months, but I've ordered a few more Mercury dimes. I'm currently working on a PCGS registry set of 77 Mercs, so far I have 11 and counting. I have a 1938d to add to the set, and I also acquired a 1942 Proof , which won't be part of the registry set, but I always wanted a proof merc. The proof has a gold-like look to it. Welcome back.  Your Mercs are looking good.

Just a 2018 Reverse Silver Proof Set  and I bid 10 bucks on this 46 Booker T (which sounds like some kind of Hot Rod) Didn't have one in my commemorative halves and that was all I would pay for a hole filler.

Budget US classic and modern coins... 99 cent SLQ :) Not too bad for under a buck! She's got a rim ding & probably been wiped a couple times but otherwise a solid Good.   These Mercury dimes are AU-BU and were less than $3 each as part of a big lot of silver dimes.         1941-D Walking Liberty half dollar, full AU55-58 w/great luster, cost me $10.50   1961 Roosevelt dime, easy MS64 or better in hand with tons of luster, $1.99 win   1980, 1981, and 1987 proof Roosevelt dimes, $3.99 each, PCGS Proof 69 Deep Cameo's       1905 IHC, compare seller's pictures to mine, $0.99; has a hit on the reverse but otherwise AU50-AU53, some luster in hand

My latest endeavors have been in the Encased Cents exonoumia field. For some odd reason the history of these things pulls me in. I can remember as a kid in the '50's these were all over the place, kinda like the craze today of the rolled cent machines. Here's two of my latest, got three more coming to add to the 8 so far. Before or after "The Crash?  Before the Election? Or Before Tootallious's birthday?

It's been a while since I posted one here. Just got this in the mail. I can't tell if it has been cleaned or if those are just circulation scratches. Still a nice looking coin IMO.

Thanks jbuck! Quote: Difficult to tell from the photos, but it looks like circulation to me. I am sure there will be disagreement. There are more scratches on it than you can see. Most go up and down. More so on the obverse than reverse. If I add more light to the photo is washes out the detail of the coin. Also this one has a clash on the reverse from the back of the head. My photo's don't show it so well.

Couldn't resist it, bought one a couple week's ago and saw this one and the price was right, so grabbed it, it's a beauty!
