That's what the blue color is! You wouldn't want a haunted slab, now would you? It's on sale at K-mart, it's a blue-light special! Ms. Liberty is depressed! Her S.A.D. is kicking in early. It's just a Picasso painting of a Mercury dime! Dangit Dave, if you win that coin, I get visitation rights. Report this Post to the Staff

I desire it to help refine the axial-lighting setup in the photography lab I'm building. I see staggering potential in this one. Assuming I win it at a non-stupid price - as a learning investment for me, I may go slightly stupid - it will be offered here as a Pocket It Now at the hammer price once my purposes are accomplished.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 1:24 pm How about I win it, and loan it to you? I would love to have beautiful blue pictures of my beautiful blue coin. I'm stupider anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 1:28 pm That would also work. I don't expect this to hammer at less than $85.... Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 1:32 pm I have some other toner Mercs (a nice variety of different kinds of luster and toning colors) that might help with your lab too if you're interested... Report this Post to the Staff

Can't wait until SUNDAY! Report this Post to the Staff

What would have been a knock-down-drag-out "keep your filthy hands off my coins!" thread on just about any other forum has become, as expected, a thread of cooperation. Man, I love this place!

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 6:18 pm Well, we've established territories then. SuperDave gets all the toner Morgans, I get the Mercury dimes. Moe, are you happy with Seateds? If you've got domain over the halves, you have to give the other denominations to somebody else. I suppose we can give darkside stuff to wwhitman. If somebody else REALLY wants a blue Merc, there's also this blue proof 1939 over at Heritage going down tonight, as well as this pale blue 1937 proof and this green and brown and blue and purple '41 proof at later auctions.

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 12:50 pm WHOA! That Heritage went for $230! Way over the $86 I expect this one to go for! And being relegated to the 'darkside'. Gee I was trying to come out into the light! Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 1:17 pm The proof went for exactly Numismedia FMV for the grade. The mintage numbers for Mercury dime proofs aren't that big, so it seems like a not-unreasonable price in supply/demand terms. Don't worry, there's probably plenty of nice USA stuff for you. You can have the toner Barbers if you want, I won't fight you over those. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 4:54 pm Dang, that really blue nickel is up to $160 already with 5 hours left! Numismedia lists a FMV of $30 in that grade. I'm glad I wasn't after that one... Report this Post to the Staff
