Couldn't resist.

1921 Mercury dime

So, I went back where I went yesterday to look for more silver. Here's the haul from both days. Each coin was 50 cents, and only one (the 10 Öre) clocks in under that for melt value. Total cost: $7.42. Total melt value, after weighing each coin: $22.31



That's:
1 1925 British florin (50%)
1 1926 British sixpence (50%)
1 1943 British sixpence (50%)
1 1939 Irish florin (75%)
1 1941 Irish scilling (75%)
1 1957 Finnish 100 Markkaa (50%)
1 1959 Austrian 10 Schilling (64%)
1 1943 Swedish Krona (40%)
1 1948 Swedish Krona (40%)
1 1945 Swedish 50 Öre (40%)
1 1954 Swedish 50 Öre (40%)
1 1953 Swedish 25 Öre (40%)
1 1961 Swedish 25 Öre (40%)
1 1953 Swedish 10 Öre (40%)

That as some great digging!

I'm about a year into a Twentieth Century type set for Mexico. This beauty arrived in today's mail.

5 Pesos, 1950. Crown size.

Nice pair of dimes jbuck.

Why?


Because of the 56 states, districts and territories I need to complete a full 'set' of samples, this was #45

And it's very rare - David has only seen two others in all the years he's been monitoring sample sales

And the last one sold for $150

And I paid A LOT less.


I still need:

Alaska (AK)
American Samoa (AS)
Guam (GU)
Idaho (ID)
Kansas (KS)
Minnesota (MN)
Northern Marianas (MP)
Oregon (OR)
Utah (UT)
US Virgin Islands (VI)
Washington (WA)
Wyoming (WY)

The 50 State Quarters, and ATB both count (my set, MY rules :-)) oh, and I'm not proud, any sonic sealed slab.

I like that set idea. Very nice find!
