I realize I am risking serious abuse from Registry Forum members who police posting here. Perhaps I should have used BST, but I want to show off the photo, not sell a coin.
This IS my coin, but I guarantee you will NOT see me bid on it, or is this an attempt to push the bidding. If it sells for .99 so be it (it won't).
What this post intends to do is to show off a photo of a Merc that "WAS" in my short set.... I'd post the whole set, but since I am computer illiterate, I can't figure out how to take/post a photo, and I must rely on the photographic skills and kindness of Onlyroosies and Greattoning.
At the Palm Beach auction I was able to buy a better (PCGS 68) Merc, which bumped this out. My 1941-1945 Merc short set now averages MS 67.6 (includes two MS 69s), which is ok gradewise, but they all have KILLER (A+)color....the set is pretty enough that this coin does not make it.
I invite you to post a coin that is a similar "REJECT" from your set -- post the "best" coin which does not make your set. I'm sure there are some amazing duplicates that can't make the first team!....or, make me drool with a killer toned Merc.

-Pretty coin, by the way. I'm surprised, even though it's a duplicate, you don't keep it?
10 are PCGS, 4 NGC, one ANACS a 41P in 69....it's green, a cool coin in any holder, but I can't bring myself to smash the 69 plastic.

By the way, Nice icon, Almost as nice as mine.....
That 49S is much cooler looking than your coin....It even looks good on my rainbowroosie T-shirt!!!!!! Please DO NOT bid on the merc, my intent was NOT to hype the sale....although Craig's "AT" was a bit much....however, if it ain't ugly blue, he thinks it is AT!!!!!

So, anyways... my Merc registry is pretty much defunct and gone now... sold most of it off, except for the pretty toned coins
But, knocking on it's heels, is this recent purchase
42/92
Not a big grade or anything like that. Just a coin that is really liked and I'm not sure if it has ever been in the Registry. Its had a home here for about 4 years.
