Just cracked this one out for the album:

Finally-Done-With-Mercury-Dimes
1916-D Mercury dime, PCGS AG03 by CaptainFwiffo, on Flickr

Of course, just because I'm "done" with the set, doesn't mean there's not room for upgrades...

Finally-Done-With-Mercury-Dimes
1917 Mercury dime (type of 1916) by CaptainFwiffo, on Flickr

That one's a heart-stopper in hand.

It's raw, but definitely FB; just about a prefect strike actually. The dealer marked it as MS64FB, but I think that possibly a bit conservative.

Congratulation Captain,

If it weren't for the minor hit on the bottom band area, I'd call it a MS-65+ FB. I have set aside upgrade for my mercury set and concentrate on my type set.

Yeah, type is what I think I'm gonna focus on next, or Indian cents. But if I happen to see particularly choice Mercs, I won't say no :)

Congratulations on completing the set! That is quite an accomplishment, and something to be proud of indeed.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the full set?

EDIT: Found your pictures on flickr, WOW!
