I have the 31s in 67..

now I have 2 of them

bennybravo

I tried to buy your 42-d and 44-d, but I missed them by a day. Those were killer toned 67's! I hated missing them. Anyway, I hope you did well with the sale, really great coins.

Cocoinut

Marc,

I wish I could say I had one of them, but like bennybravo, I came in a close second.

When you only need 2 big-ticket coins to finish the set, additions are few and far between. I'm returning to my collecting roots, Lincoln cents, to get my coin-buying fix.

Marc,

There are but a few left as most have been placed into new homes. I'm sorry Benny and Cocoinut missed on the pieces they wanted, but I sincerely appreciate their interest. You really had some wonderful coins Marc and have enjoyed imaging them and finding new homes for them.

Dimetime

They were gone before I could get one.

most of them sold very fast, the one I wanted was sold
before it even arrived

thanks Mike you did a darn nice job of it

Tim, DT like I said sorry I wish I could have divided some of the mercs around ...maybe I'll just try again one day

I did hold on to a few dates though and the smoke has not cleared yet ...


Marc

I didn't get any that I was interested in.......they went VERY fast!!

PQpeace

Soon they can buy all of mine,

RAD

Uh-oh Larry...have you been building one of those "fly by night registry sets" someone referred to over in the U.S. coin Forum??!!??

Edited for: Let us all know when!!!

PQpeace

Let me explain something about the registry..

The registry is ALL ABOUT MONEY.
I have been saying that since the first day the registry started.
Guys who have money,and there are lots of registry guys with tons of it..can keep their sets for many years...or just keep adding other sets..
Guys like me who don't have,need to sell and start another set or stop collecting.
I love my dimes,and If I could,would never sell them.
Same goes with my Morgan and Peace dollars I sold a few years ago.
I hated to sell them,but had to.
I am starting the complete US type set for a few reasons..
Education.
I will learn about every single coin ever minted in this country.
That set will take years to complete,and hopfully will be a keeper...
Maybe by the time that set is finished,I will be one of the ones who "have" ,and will keep it forever...

Larry, your position might be contended by a select few, but it is honest and very well stated.

Best, Mike.

RAD

Larry!!!! I was just kidding!!!

I hope you didn't take it wrong....I think most of us know you are both collector and dealer (and a very fair one at that!!). I certainly don't begrudge your putting together an OUTSTANDING collection of Merc's with the ultimate intent of selling it........Heck, I'd like to have a chance to buy a few!!!!! Keep us Merc guys informed of your plans, and all the more power to ya'!!!

Fairlaneman

Some sell for a reason, Marc. Some sell to start something else, Larry. Some sell for personal reasons, a couple of our older members. And some sell just because interest and desire have waned, guess who.

Cheers All.

RAD,
no problem with you at all !

I just really get fried by these guys who have many many millions and put together # 1 sets..
BFD

I give them alot of credit for making the money,but not for building top sets.

Give me millions and I can do it also....has nothing to do with skill or anything like that..
just millionaires who probably failed at sports or other competitive events,and the only way they get to pad their ego is with registry sets...



I love my mercs...............

Larry, didn't I say something very similar to this a long time ago, and then I got an ass whoopin' from you

Mikey,
our discussion was about grading

and Mike..

If someone gave you 5 million bucks,I am sure you could build the finest merc,and lincoln sets on earth....
You have what it takes..just not the cash

I have been helping customers put together top notch morgan and peace dollar sets for a few years now..some are on the registry,some not..
What fun it is to search out fine coins,make money,and put a smile on their faces

Sorry Marc for messing up your thread
