Passing signal is on - Mercateers

DeepCoin

I should be adding a 28-S in 66 shortly, and while I have been sliding down this should bump me up one spot for a short time.

Where are all the Merc threads these days? Did anyone make any purchases at ANA or have their dealer find some new acquisitions? Sure has been slow on Merc topics, other than the 16-D topic in the Coin Forum.

Congradulations, I seem to be stuck and can't move, but I haven't given up yet

Hi Deep,

Yup - been quiet - nothing overly exciting it seemed. I had my eyes on a number of Merc's in the Reed Hawn sale and most of the dates I was looking for either upgrades or whatever was way short of what I expect in terms of quality and eye appeal. Personally I was actually dissapointed to say the least. In the other sales and other avenues there is nothing to be seen in terms of true super graded examples. The better coins, accurately graded and great preservation pieces have been eaten up and are NOT to be seen.

Glad you're moving

Passing signal is now turned off. Alas, the deal fell through. However, better not to make a deal, than to make a bad deal.


The good news is this does free up some $$$ for a different new purchase. Hint to Larry and Steve. Looking forward to seeing what you have available.

ANA, Local Dealer ? When you live out in the Boonies there is no such thing. The closest real dealer is now 190 miles away. Now all there is to depend on is the forum members, hint, hint, and web sites which have had very little lately.

Such is life though.

Larry you got the hint. Correct ? PM me.....

Take Care Guys.

That's a good selection of Mercs. I'm sure you'll be able to sell some here.

There didn't appear to be an over-abundance of Mercs in the pre-ANA auctions, at least not the dates & grades I'm looking for. I hope some of those who actually attended the show went home with additions they can share with us. The Mercateers have been far too quiet.

The Merc crew needs some uplifting. I wish I had something. It has been a pretty long dry spell for me. I have about three coins I would like to update, but every time I see one of them, the price is just too high for me.

PQpeace

I will be doing some uplifting soon..
Give me 2 weeks,and there will be Merc threads everyday !!

Fairlaneman

Dibs on the 16S(For Sure ) and the 39P if it has some color....... 31S also if it shows some color. You can never have enough 31S's...

Thank You !!!

By the way guys I still have 19 FB Mercs that are Registry Quality. A couple in the teens, some in the twenties and few in the thirties and forties. Whip a date on me and I will let you know if I have it. From what I have been seeing lately, price wise and quality wise, my prices are reasonable.

Info on 29d and 29s pse

Nic

How about the icon FLM? . K

Fairlaneman

Info on the 3 you have, price wise. It makes a difference on what I say about the 29D and 29S.....

Edit because I put the wrong date up for Larry.....

Heres a pic I took, not the best. A PCGS 65fb 1935 D a picked a while ago. Its in an old green holder.
I'm considering sending it in for regrade. What do you guys think?

Fairlaneman

<< <i>How about the icon FLM? . K >>



Another Forum member already owns it. Darn it was a 67 NB coin that I sold before I decided to start a NB set.

Don,

That dime looks 65FB to me - frankly I admit it "looks" 64 from the photo -I'd NOT send it in whatso ever -

Marc

Fairlaneman

I could not see the luster very well so I said nothing untill now. For a upgrade it needs blinding luster IMO.

Ken

Fairlaneman

No passing signal but atleast another No Band coin was Re-Found. Larry was kind enough to sell the 16S back to me. Kool I thought when he informed me that I had sold it to him. Senile people like me forget easily....




Ken

Fairlaneman

I give.

First the site will not let me upload pictures. Then I get everything to work and the post goes Poof. What next...will I get Banned ?




A new old dime that Larry was kind enough to sell back to me. 1916S MS66NB

The first post shows up 5 minutes later when I am typing the second one.......Hmmm you guys probably think a Loony Toon guy is in your company...

Ken

Fairlaneman

Do I dare type anything.

Larry I can wait. Thanks for making the deal with me...

Ken

marcmoish

loony? naa only the last 7 of 10 posts belong to you Ken LOL - grab a margarita and ride on



Has anyone noticed the newcomer on the block?? actually he's jumped to #1 and dumped most of us by one. Carlton something...seems like an awfully nice set at first quickee glance





Marc

Cocoinut

Yes, that new #1 set is a great set - all FB's - mostly 65's and 66's, with a few 67's and 68's sprinkled in.

He also has a set of Flying Eagle cents, Mr. Bill's Birds. I don't know who it is, but wonder if it's Bill Walser. He built some fine sets in other series.

Whoever it is, they should have used a spellchecker when typing the name of the set.

Jim

Whoever it is, they should have used a spellchecker when typing the name of the set.


LOL I was thinking the same - only I waited for you to bring it up

Hey Ken,

Larry

Ken,

Chevelle--did someone say Chevelle!

Yup, I'm a Chevy guy with the old stuff. But Ford rule for newer vehicles their quality is far superior to new GM stuff.



Larry,

You can only upload an icon on the 15th of each month. And they sometimes move that around. You can go in and edit your info on the 15th and there will be an icon upload box. The icon has to be no larger than 100 x 100. Upload from you computer and it is put in place for you. Good luck.


Tony

Fairlaneman

Larry here is the obverse of the 39D. Click on the Image if you like it and then save it in your files. On upload day, the 15th, go get it and upload it for your icon. The size is correct. The file name is 39D.gif
