Al's nipping at my heels in the Merc registry

I was just checking the Merc registry and was surprised to see Al moving up so fast. Apparently he's too modest to mention it, but he's added a 1927-S in MS65FB, a '29-D in 65FB. and a '36-P in 67FB. That '27-S is a beauty (see pic) and a real high-powered coin. Att that rate I expect to have Al's footprints on my back before long.
Congratulations on the additions, Al!!

AL sort of Kept the 27S Purchase Secret,well almost secret. Thats the One that was on the Whitlow Site I believe. He Thought it Might Need a Bath to Make it Shine More. Well after a Small Butt Chewing I see He changed His Mind. Glad He Did as it is a Great Looking Coin.
Jim:
Hold Him off for awhile !!!
Ken
But I think I have A line on a 38-s,my last not so expensive addition
but hey I did fine some extras that Al needed and offered to let him borrow the cert numbers
but seriously I did notice that 4 or 5 sets updated earlier this week.
Tim
Jim,
Very nice 20-S. Wouldn't want to sell it would you? Very very nice coin.
Al,
What can I say about your 27-S, except WOW and drool a lot. You gained 3 points on me there. OUCH!
You have a really fine set going there.
Ken, at this rate we are both going to have tracks up our backs as these guys pass us up.
Oh well, ain't this fun!?!?!
Jon
I'm Just Hopeing that the 4 Guys right behind Myself ( Dennis, Tim, Jim, and Al ) Do Not get in a Big Rush to Finish thier sets all at once. The Old Back just Will Not be able to Handle the Trampling that it would take when They Walk Over Me to the Top.
Ken
Ken,
Yea, but when the set is finished. Then there is the upgrading to do.
I,m going down arount the St. Louis area today and check some dealers out. Talk later.

Are those for a set of your own, or for resale?
If you're going to join us, welcome aboard. We can be assured that any set you put together will contain a lot of MS66+FB coins. Hope you show us some pictures so we can all admire them.
If you're not forming a set, maybe you could become a dealer in Mercs. There's plenty of enthusiasm for them here.
Jim
Jim: I would love those coins to be for my own set (my set presently consisting mainly of color coins I busted out of PCGS and NGC holders long ago and placed in one of those Library of Coins albums with a boatload of "tags" thrown in the back of the book to remind me where the coins originally came from) , but resources simply will not permit it.
In the case of the 1942/1, the bands are 99%+ there - take away the 5 power (i.e. wear rose colored glasses) and they look perfect. I know the previous dealer that "made" the coin tried hard for the FB designation at PCGS. I'll get this coin up next week on my site
After all, he climbed over me to get where he is!
He and I have "met" over many of nice Mercs!
He is building one great set! Congrats, on the additions, Al!
Jim:
That '20-S is a nice one also. I don't know how I missed it. I find their scans decieving - to our advantage!
Nice grab!
Mitch:
You may be in our "sandbox", but your in the Joshua/Apollo/Beverly Hills/Stokely corner(where all the really neat toys are!
Of course the sand in the rest of the box is becoming wet with drool!!! LOL
Hey, I came across this one while surfin' the dimes this morn. I think it may fit your criteria for patterns/low pops.
Morgan Head dime PR69 finest known .
Sure looks like a beaut!

Don: That pattern dime is really neat. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Wondercoin.
Tim
Thanks for the scan,very intresting pattern.Al
Nice coins WonderCoin. Is the overdate from David Lawrence? I think they had a 66 NB.
Jon
Dimeman: Yes, D. Lawrence had the 42/1, although I struck a dealer with the dealer who consigned them the coin.
Does anyone know if any one of the (4) PCGS-MS66FB 1942/1 specimens are available for sale?
Wondercoin.
WC,
I sure wish I had the money. I woulda been all over that 42/1 like a cheap suit. Nice coin!!!!!!!
Jon
I will ask about the others and see what I can find out for you mitch
Tim
Cograts on the move, nice coins and nice job finding those ladies! That is the toughest part of the mercs, finding them.
Ken,
Back form Oklahoma, not much there for me, but sent you an email....
Great family of Merc colectors!

When are you going to post your 26-S to your set? I saw it on the other thread and the top of the basic registry is really moving, given the cost of new acquisitions when you start getting close.
