This exile from posting pictures has got me down... image Anyway here is the 31P that was bought a few months ago. The picture sort of looks funky, tooooo Brown, but thats the best I can do right now.

Also I forgot how to put the picture in the post so it is just attached.

Take Care.

    Ken,

    That is the nicest 31-P I have ever seen! It's a keeper. Now we just need to flip a Merc and see who Keeps her!

    What is your Icon coin ? Was that a 30 or a 31 ? Anyway that was a 66FB coin hid out in a Anacs 65 holder. Just as pretty and as nice as this 31P here.

    How about another one ?

    This 17P was bought at the Portland ANA Show. This is a Type of 16 coin. Could be the first Type of 16 for a 17P that I have owned.

    Ken,

    You have a great eye for Mercs. I hope you keep dabbling in them as you shift your collecting focus. You will always be one of the original Mercateers!

    Ken,

    Love that '31-P!!! The '17 is nice, too. I think you've shown before what the difference is between the type of 1916 vs. the type of 1917. Would you mind sharing that again?

    Here are the three Wing Feather Styles for the Little Ladies. From left to right they are the Type of 16 for 1916 and part of 1917. The Type of 17 which finished off 1917 I believe. Last but not least the Type of 18 which finished off the series thru 1945.

    Rumor has it there just may be a Type of 2005. Now that would be something. image

    I never knew there was "Type of xxxx" for the Mercs. Was that Type of 18
    re-engraved to bring out more detail?

    Ken,

    Great to hear from you again - hopefully you'll stick around for a long time - that '31 is indeed a super example - great eye appeal and wow and congrat's for picking a 65 that slabbed 66 - not many of us have been that lucky.
