John Voege Merc Registry Set.

Fairlaneman

Hey we have a New Set in the Registry that ended up at #9. Took a look and was suprised to see a whole bunch of AU55 and AU58 dimes. This guy must have some real patience as some of those AU coins are much harder to find than MS coins. I believe he has 6 Pop 1 coins for thier grade. Cool Set IMO.

Thanks Ken, Actually I bought a bunch of those from Coast to Coast and one of the other big names in Coin World years ago. All were suppose to be premium quality BU. I finally submitted them recently. Shows you how their grading compares. Price wise I got what I paid for, only 3 out of about forty were body bagged and none (even thank god) including the 16-d were fake. I'm looking forward to upgrading now, although it's a big hill to climb. I'm surprised that that many AU's and I still crept into the top 10. Still working on my proof mercs too. Currently tied at #2.

Ken,
I can't get anyone to use thier turn signals around here.
I go up on and down two. This is going to be an interesting upcomming year. I will be upgrading one and adding one new dime on Sunday. What that will do to my set, only time will tell.

Happy New Year to all

Welcome, John.

I was #11 for a little while! LOL

Good to see a new set added to the group...even if it's ahead of mine!

Again, welcome aboard.

Welcome Dimetime!!

You knocked me back one, but that's OK. I'm still up & comming, and still on the front page, barely!!! I have a bunch of raw dimes (30-40) that I bought as gems, similar story, so I understand. I figure only 8-10 will make MS. I need to send them in and find out how my grading skills are maturing!

Ditto what Ken said!

Let me know when you upgrade, I could live with several of the ones you have!!!

Regards,

John,

Welcome to the group. I was also amazed to see that you have so many early dates in AU55-58, especially the '16-D! I wasn't surprised to hear that they came from Coast to Coast; their prices for "premium quality BU" coins are usually too good to be true. I'm glad only a few of your coins were bodybagged, and that you feel that you got what you paid for. You have a very nice set, and it should remain highly ranked. There are at least 10 coins that you should be able to add without a huge outlay of cash.

Add mine to the list of sets that got bumped. I'm now #10, but hope to have some additions in a couple of weeks.

The number of Merc sets has grown tremendously this year. I registered my set on January 21, and debuted at #14. After dozens of additions and upgrades, I feel like I'm just treading water. This is a very competitive and active group!
