Passing--Passing on Mercury Dimes?

Where is all the passing? Doesn't anyone ever pass anymore?

Life sure seems boaring latety.

I know what you mean. I'm bored also, but I'm also broke! I have bought more coins in July and August than in the first 5 months combined. If you could send me a 23-S in 63FB, or a 25-S in 63FB, or a 27-S in 63FB, or a 31-S in 64FB, either of the 21's in 63FB, I'd be happy to pull out in the passing lane and make a move.

People are adding coins, there is a little red usually showing, and everyone is suffering from the post ANA blues I think. As for me, seems that when I add a coin or two, so do Jim and Al to keep pace. Look at the set ratings on the top 20 sets and compare them to a year ago, the competition is really heating up.

I'm keeping my eye on Marc, I know he is plotting a major multi-set pass in the near future. He has bought some awesome coins lately.

Wayne,

I am awaiting a couple of coins sent in for grading in June. Maybe within the next month or two, I'll have an add and an upgrade. The add is a 1925 a nice choice coin. and an unc 1923-S. I think there is a third too, but it was so long ago I can't remember!

Hey Tony,

Since I already have a nice 1925 in 65FB, just send me the 23-S when it comes in. Heck, I'd even be happy with your upgraded 23-S! BTW, I'm not confused, why is everyone always confused?

Regards,

Wayne

Wayne,

The 1923-S I have getting graded is my id coin!

<-- right there!

Tony,

No problem, you can still use it as your ID after you give it to me!

Wayne,

Now that I have about 80% complete, it sure is tough to find coins. I keep looking, but I'm not finding! I see too that these things seem to rise in price everyday. I did picked up a pair of low end 16-D coins. One ag 3 and one g6. I am very happy with the g6. I know it will take me a long time to build funds to get a high grade. The g6 has only one small area where the rim and the tip of the letters merge (and the tips are visable under magnification). I have a few circ coins that I need to move out, but I need to find stuff to put in (the 23s is one that should move in--soon).

So Tony,

Does this mean you're not going to send me a nice PCGS slabbed 23-S? ;-( You keep evading this issue!

I'll think about the hole filler I have now, but I need to wait until I see what
<--- that one comes back graded (or BB).

I'm plotting while you two fight it out

Marc,

Plot away, but remember to put up those hand signals.

here is my solution send me the 1923-s and when you two decide how you will share it I will send it to the person.

I the mean time it will reside safely in my set
