I'll look at your set when you build it. I'll keep my inexpensive set :) My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
Captain Jack Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 7:18 pm Lol, the price of one MS-67 or 68 Mercury dime makes my hair turn gray. My goal eventually is to have at least one MS-68 morgan, but the cheapest on ebay is around $3500. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7380 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 7:30 pm The LCS has an MS 66 MHD, it was priced at $300, I said I'll pass :) the 16-D I' m holding is $350. Even that is more than I want to spend :) My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 8:26 pm Great plan on completing a set of Mercs! Thank you for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7380 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 8:51 pm Thanks all, it's been a fun set to get. This time instead of buying the best coin, I picked the price and selected coins based on that price. It worked well, even the semi keys (21P and D) I picked up at a great price.

This time instead of buying the best coin, I picked the price and selected coins based on that price. To me its also about finishing a set. I don't care if they are MS or not. in fact I hate the idea of putting MS pieces in albums b/c they will deteriorate (oops...tone) over time. I also just like the looks of coins in albums instead of 2X2s (though I have many of those also). I would like to see someone make an all plastic album designed like Whitman/Dansco, etc. The Encap albums seem to be great, but then there is the need to buy all of the capsules. I keep telling myself I am going to make (for the enjoyment of it) a plastic album someday for my Kennedy halves, but life keeps getting in the way.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/01/2019 08:54 am I love the way Silver coins look in a Whitman Album. If you wanted to you could actually add more pages in that Album and make it a two Album set. I've picked all my Mercury dimes at coin shows. Yours is a great looking set so far.
