I just need to find a way to break the news to my wife.. $1,244 was my top bid, and I wasn't expecting to win with that, though I am extremely happy that I did. I could get away with not selling anything else, but I am pretty sure Aimee would disapprove, especially since I just spent $600+ on my draped bust large cent. I am more than willing to sacrifice in this case since I've been wanting a nice 16-d for years. I have the rest of the merc dime set too, so this will make my set complete. However, many of my early date mercs are in the AG3-G6, so I will need to do some upgrading along the way to compliment the 16d. Report this Post to the Staff

I had watched this auction and studied the coin for a while, but my decision to bid was a last minute decision and I really didn't think that I would win since I practically always have gotten outbid on these in the last few seconds.

SilverTurtle Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 4:17 pm Nice Hole Filler for your set. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 5:04 pm Quote: Nice Hole Filler for your set. lol...yeah, I doubt I will be upgrading it for a loooong time. Now I have to turn the rest of my set into a "minimum grade of vg". This is one of those coins that is worth so much more than the rest of the set combined to the point that you build the whole set around it...I think even more so than the 1916 slq.
