Re: Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set
The medals are in demand. I know several collectors that only bought this set for the silver medal.
Did we really need another gold Mercury Dime? Especially when it isn't even dated 2026 and has a silly Liberty Bell privy on it?
One of my customers in particular wanted 2 silver medals so they can display the pair one obverse and one reverse in order to see the full design of the pair all at once, similar to the Mint photo that shows them together. They are dumping the gold dimes ASAP to recover as much of the cost as possible.
Will be much more expensive for collectors to get the silver medals from the remainder of the series as they have larger gold coins. I believe a separate set of medals would have sold well. Even a set in bronze like the First Spouse medals would have been fun.

My dad served in the Pacific War. He put this together over 60 years ago.

I still like this set, the silver more than the gold Merc.

A big price for a Norse medal by auction on Ebay.

Mine is still in original flip.

Re: TSA Flying With Coins
10 years ago, I was flying with a PCGS box in my carryon right next to my older style phone charger with a coiled cord directly aligned in the x-ray looking like a wire running through the 20 coins. I cut them some slack on that one...and now pack my phone cord far away from anything of the sort when flying.
