Larry Whitlow LTD. and Mike especially Got this to Me in 4 Days. What more Could You ask For ??
    Comments Anyone ?
      image Green and Light Purple Toning. The Strike Does Not Show Well in this Picture but it is Hammered Out. Added Feature is the Die Clash Showing Leaves from the Reverse.
        image Same Toning Pattern on the Reverse. Bands are Weak but Thats How Most of these just are.
          This Down Grades the Set but Oh Well Thats Life.

              I have had several dealings with Michael Printz at Larry Whitlow LTD. He is as good a fellow to deal with in the business as there is.

              Very nice coin by the way.

              Ken:

              I saw that coin on the Whitlow website. It looked nice there but I bet it looks nicer in your collection.

              Mark

              P.S.: The only thing I might ask from Larry Whitlow--actually, also from Mike Printz--is that he REFUSE TO SELL YOU ANY COINS!!!! I mean, how in the world are the rest of us supposed to compete if you are out there buying? Stop it!!

              Ken,

              Nice coin. I have bought several coins from Whitlow. I like doing business with them. They usually have nice coins.

              Looks like you are going for a toned set.

              By the way. Which type set did you register? And what is it's name?

              Dennis:
                Talked to Mike on the Phone Tuesday and that is When it went in the Mail. Pretty Darn Good, both by Whitlow and the Postal Service. And Yes I know what You are thinking about the Coin with the Blotchy Tone.image Come on Tell Me what You Really Think !! Geez have I Converted You to TONED BEAUTIES ??
                  Jon:
                    Its the Very Meager "Columbia River Gorge Set" in the Early Copper, Nickel, Silver Registry. Just a Side Light to keep interest Up as the Last Merc's are Harder to Find at The Price and Look that I want. Just Could Not Pass on this 28S though. The Pictures do it No Justice. It Really is Quite Pretty and Probably the Oddest Tone Scheme I have Seen.
                      Thanks Guys for the Comments. Slowly the White Coins are Hitting the # 2 Set.

                        Nice coin, Ken. I hope the '28-S I have coming looks as good. I'm happy to see you branching out to type coins; they're like holding a piece of history in your hand.

                        I was at a show in Colorado Springs yesterday. Rather than taking the interstate highway, I took a more leisurely and scenic route from the Denver area, with Pike's Peak in the background most of the way. Anyway, I found just one toned Merc, a 1919-D in MS64. It was priced between Greysheet bid and ask, which is fair, but the strike was a little too soft for my taste, and I passed on it. I haven't seen a lot of '19-D's, so perhaps I missed a good opportunity. The good news is that I found a couple of the more common dates that I needed for my set. I'll have them photographed and added sometime tomorrow morning.

                        For you state quarter enthusiasts: the Denver Mint had a table at the show, and they were giving away Louisiana quarters packaged in a sealed plastic bag that probably contains PVC, plus a grab bag where you get to reach into a container and pull out an earlier date state quarter (also sealed). I later had an opportunity to look through a roll of Denver mint Louisiana quarters, and overall they are by far the best quality "D" mints of any in the series, IMO. I plucked out 5 that I thought were exceptional, some that are solid MS66's, and a couple that I think are MS67's. I don't actively collect the state quarters, but if they all looked as nice as these Louisiana's, I might have to begin.

                        Jim

                        I don't really like the toning, but if you like it, that is all that matters!image
