Why no Eliasberg Mercury Dimes?

This may be a dumb question. However, it has me wondering. As an avid Mercury Dime collector, how come I have never seen an Eliasberg Mercury Dime pop up for sale?
Thank you in advance.

I have the Eliasberg auction catalogs and will look to see if any Mercury dimes are listed. I know that he had the modern Proof sets right up until the 1970s when his collections were sold. I remember them in the listings.
I have a common date AU one!
Maybe someone purchased the bulk of the Merc portion of the collection and is still holding

Search the Heritage archives for "Mercury Eliasberg" and you'll find a whole bunch of them

@1630Boston... That 1921D Merc is a beauty. Cheers, RickO
That's awesome! Mind if I trouble you to share a picture of it? How did you find that? Any chance you are looking to part with it?
And talk about a spectacular 21-D! Wow! Thank you for sharing.
It was circulating pocket change when he was actively collecting. It might not have been a priority for him.
this would be a good place to search.
