Was it worth bidding on and winning ? A little White but oh well. This is one of nine Mercs won last night. Just cannot help myself.

9 coins in one night! You are on a buying spree. I hope they all look like as nice as those two.
More beautiful ladies!! What are the grades on those, it is hard for me to judge as the picture is just a bit fuzzy on my computer.
A couple (OK, three) questions:
1. Are the 2 coins you showed us slabbed?
2. If so, what grades are they?
3. Why didn't I see the '19-D, so I could bid on it? It would make a good mate for the '19-S that I expect to have in another day or two.
Sounds like you really went on a binge. Whose auction(s) were they in? Guess you were like me - frustrated that I couldn't get to the ANA, but looking to buy a decent coin or two (or 9!) elsewhere.
If you decide you don't need or want 2 '19-D's, I know where you could find a home for one.

My count down...7 to go.
You always manage to stay one step ahead of me. Congrats on your latest acquisitions from Ken's favorite year. With those pedigrees, I'll bet they're both real screamers in person.

On to the meager coins I bought. You will not believe the grades of these two shown so I will wait untill they are received, take a look at them and then make a comment. Actually six of the dimes bought were ANACS coins, in which I have had good luck with plus they are usually much cheaper money wise. I really want to see these two shown because they sure look better than the grades put on them. The three pcgs coins bought were a straight across swap for a coin I am not thrilled with my 39P and a meager up grade on the 36S that is in my set. All bought from the Junk Coin, as some call it, Heritage Bullet Auction.

Nice pair of coins. I'm sure the rest are nice. too.

The 25-D is nicer than the 25-P, a beauty,and that one step ---well it just happens
Ken,thanks,and that 19-D looks MS65?,unless im missing something..Al
Great catch there Buddy

I bought the 19D because of the strike. Grade wise I know what the slab says but thats about it untill it is seen. Hows that for Dodging the grade question.
Heck this one was in the batch also. See below.
Ken
I was the underbidder on your 25-D , I really had my heart set on that example - its totally super - You really got yourself a great addition
When I get all my Mercs in that I corraled last week there may be some crying here
Marc
Marc,were you live bidding,or internet?..I took a big chance on not seeing the coin in person,as it turned out ,im pleased..I would like to know,who outbid me on the 21-D?That coin looked to be superb.Al
...if your referring to Heritage I was internet bidding, and the 21-D FB went for way over what I had in mind to pay but I did pick up the 21-D NB which IMHO is a super example and equally rare - besides my sources say its damn close to FSB so I'm totally cool with it
marc
Yes I was a little suprised to get all of the ones I got also. Toward the end it seemed like no one was bidding.
Ken
Hopefully by end next week I should add mucho to my set.
Marc
I guess it is time to start to work a little on the 2nd set and see if I can break into
the top 20 with it by christmas
great buys Ken
Tim
Al, wow, two nice additions, especially the 25-D. Guess my headlights are getting kinda dim now?
Marc, hope I'm not one of the one's crying! Finally slid into the top 10 with Stokley and Dennis dropping out. May not be here long though.
Tim, why not put together a set of Walking Liberty Halves before you start on that second set, give some of us a chance at those tough dates?
Regards,
