After I saw another members old Merc set I decided I had to get one too. I have a high end set but I wanted an old album and old worn Mercs so I started my quest on ebay. First the album. This is the one I chose and received...  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

i like it. as with many things, some age and "history" can add to the overall appeal of the product. I suspect that by the time you have your project completed - it will have a lot of appeal and personality.

Jeeze, going right at 'em eh? I am only missing the '16-D, but there are about a dozen coins I want to upgrade (Looking for my set to be F15 or better) before I get it and shell out a couple grand.

This album I want to be old and worn, I have the bright and shiny's. This one's gonna be antique lol. I like the high end Mercs but I sure like the looks of an honestly worn circulated dime.

If there's anything more fun than cracking a worn key date and holding it in your hand, I don't know what it is.

Thanks, it's actually an old album with clear slides. I think 1959. It also has a spot for a 1942/1 and that's gonna be a tough one. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

This time I'm going to save the label and put it in the back of the album. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Really like those Library of Coins albums. My local dealer who usually overcharges, let's me have them for $5 each. Got Morgans, Barber quarters, SLQs, and Franklin halfs. All were unused. Would love to find the large cent ones. |

BTW, getting the 16-D first is like eating dessert before dinner.
