Home PCGS Set Registry Forum

Forums Down this weekend so here is what is New for the Set.

Foiled by a Forum Shut Down. I was going to wait untill these arrived and then attempt some pictures but that will not happen now. image Anyway here is the spending spree that has happened in the last week or so. These are all upgrades to the somewhat meager Set.

1. 1920S MS64FB
2. 1926P MS66FB with color. Darn thing cost a arm and a leg.
3. 1926D MS65 with color. Bought from a forum member.
4. 1927P MS66FB. Finally got the Real Dog 65 coin out of the set. image
5. 1929D MS66FB. Pictures on Web Site were terrible. Taking a chance.
6. 1929S MS66FB. Some color on this one. Waiting to see how pretty it is.
7. 1931P MS66FB. I think this coin could just be a killer example. We will see.
8. 1934D MS67. Ice Blue in the fields. Just had to see this coin.
9. And one Maybe. 1940S MS67FB. Great Color but it could be sold. I will know tomorrow.

Well thats my Merc money for the year....image

    if this was from Mikie da Printz, yet another..... OK MERC HEADS!!!!

    Its on, and the HepKitty doesn't play fair........

    Now, you'll find out why life got so rough for the Cats in the Franklin areana when I focused all my resources there....

    Its on Merc Heads, the HepKitty is putting her war face on:

    Ken, cool. Nice additions.

    Lucy, I am prepared to be run over! Just run me over with a muscle car!

    Three coins came today and a real cool plus was seen on one of them. The 29S is a very obvious Double Die. It stands out very clearly.

    Thanks Tony for the confirmation that a DD is present for the 29S. Old guys like me CRS. image

    Ken,

    All I can say is "WOW!" It looks like you made good use of the proceeds from the sale of your house. Can we expect to see a return of your Registry set? If not, we'll settle for pics of your new coins next week (if you're still around). I'd especially like to see that '29-S double die. Congrats x 8!!!

    Lucy Bop is a force to be reckoned with. The Joshua, Apollo, and Beverly Hills sets are safe, but the rest of us peons should be watching our rearview mirrors. Just remember the rules, Lucy. You've got to use passing signals, and contribute a Merc to everyone you pass.

    You may have to, Lucy; Ken's probably "broke" now! image

  • Well... I don't got anything to worry about from Lucy... I'm still a couple spots back of her, and likely to not rise very much higher in the Registry... we need a short set... that's what I'm working on, and that's what I can afford... I WANT MY SHORT SET! Anyways... congrats Fairlane, I'd also like to see that DD... is it really dramatic? Or subtle?

    Lucy,

    Is that a '58 Chevy? Or maybe a Pontiac? Cool car! At least we'll know what to watch out for. Hope you don't have to sell it in your climb to the top.

    Jim some of that money had to be put to good use I thought. Whats better than Mercs ? image
    Lucy's car is a 58 Chev. It has the wrong headlights in it though. T3's are the correct ones. A little Car Trivia.

    George the pictures will have to wait untill I get back on the forums in a couple of months. My studio is torn apart and packed away for moving. The doubling is fairly dramatic for this date but nothing like you see on a 42 over 41 Merc Dime. These minor Double Die coins are much harder to see.

    Hello Mercateers!

    "Phase 1 of the 'Shock and Awe' campian has begun..... "

    I'm building me a bunker quick, donning my helmet and flak jacket, and taking my Mercs with me! Hey Lucy, please be gentle?

    Congratulations Ken, You have added some nice dimes. Sure wish you hadn't riled up the HepKitty though, I've had enough backward progress already!

    Regards,

    Wayne

    Added one more tonight. Wayne and I did a little dealing and a 39S MS67 No Band coin is coming to Oregon. It will fit in nicely with the later date portion of the collection.

    Made some KILLER Purchases in El Paso....... but they are raw.......

    a few going in for grading, a few into the National Album, the Merc set for the ages....

    Then the HepKitty went into Mexico, to my remote village and home.... Cats, we are very poor here, and its like
    stepping back into time...

    The HepKitty is gonna show those Merc Heads a thing or two!!!!

    The war face is on, some of the top dealers in the Country have been put on notice......
    A angry Mexican HepKitty.......... Isn't a good thing!
