Well, I did it -- pulled the trigger on a nice 16-D Merc

It's not MS and FB, but for now (and for some foreseeable future), it will fit nicely with my set 
It's as nice of a dime as I could afford at this moment, and in what I believe to be very solid for the grade holder (and in an old green holder, which I personally like).
The reverse of the slab has a little scratch around 2 o'clock and the obverse around 3 o'clock, but other than that it is what it is.

You'll never be sorry!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Check out my PQ selection of Morgan & Peace Dollars, and more at:
WWW.PQDOLLARS.COM or WWW.GILBERTCOINS.COM
That's one nice coin. Way to go!

Thank you all -- I am truly just thrilled!! to own a 16-D in this nice of grade.
Opportunities to get a nice dime like this don't come by that often, so I dug deep and just had to pull the trigger

You done good!

Your 16-D is quite original, so nice! Many being offered at this time are cleaned and "currated" beyond belief. The pictured piece is definitely a "keeper." Congrats, again, on a great aquisition.

My hand is still shaking and the ringing in my ears still has not subsided
This was no .22 caliber cap gun -- I'm talking a Clint Eastwood .44 Magnum. Those who have taken the plunge, I'm honored to be in the club
Congrads!
