Would this be a good trade...1942/41 Mercury

A 1942/41 Mercury PCGS VF20 for a nice 1957 Franklin PR67 DCAM. Checking previous actions they both have similar auction values ($500 -$600). I have two of these overdates the other is a ANACS XF40 and I was wondering if they have a more upside value that a DCAM Franklin. A local collectors show with some coin dealers will be in town at the end of the month so I will see if any DCAM shows up.

The merc dime would be easier to sell than the proof Franklin half. I would choose the dime.

I would agree with "fivecents" but I am partial to Mercury Dimes.

I have collected Franklins for a gazillion years (It's a sickness

) , and in no way is that a good trade. Keep the dime!
It is, by a high degree, much more liquid. If you do want to get rid of one of your doubles, get another key date
