CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 04/19/2008 11:03 am I was thinking about sending these coins in for TPG grading, but I sure would appreciate CCF collector opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 04/19/2008 11:54 am I'm not a collector of this series, but I'll try it. The 1921 - VF-20 The 1941/2 - EF-40 Nice coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 04/19/2008 12:02 pm Nice Mercs! I'd grade the 1921 VG-10, and the 1942/1 VF-30. Opinion: Getting the 42/41 graded by a top-tier TPG is a good idea, especially if you are planning to sell it. Based on the market value vs. the cost of grading, I would probably not send in the 21.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/19/2008 2:51 pm Hey Cuprous, Your 1921 has a F15 obverse and a VG10 reverse IMO. You need half or more of the vertical lines in the reverse fasces to be clear to make F-12, according the PCGS grading guide. The 1942/1 is a solid EF-40 and I agree with Bilbo that it would be worth having it graded, especially if I were interested in selling. I would try PCGS first. Nice dimes!

asciibaron Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 04/21/2008 9:33 pm 21 is a VG and the 42/1 is a VF. I like the 42/1, can I have it? :P -Steve Report this Post to the Staff
JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 10:18 pm 1921....from the pics, wear on the rim (aparently....maybe just the pic) and fasces realy hurt this one. If the reverse better matched the front, I'd say in the F range, but have to agree with the majority overall VG. Now for the 42/1......drool salivate gimee gimee! Obverse I'd give a high EF...the reverse looks slightly better than the front to me, with the exception of the weak E ending the one in "one dime" EF 40 looks good, better yet, send it to ME! It's the last one I need for my albumn! OHHHH YEAHHHH.... I'd love to see BIGGER pics....that way I won't get drool on my monitor! Edited by JohnAP 05/14/2008 10:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
