Heritage’s FUN Auction to feature the #1 All-Time Finest Collection of Mercury Dimes:

Larry Shapiro’s PCGS Registry Collection

Dallas, Texas: The Larry Shapiro Registry Collection of Mercury Dimes, currently ranked as the Finest All-Time Collection in five different categories by PCGS, will by auctioned in Heritage’s Signature Auctions at the Florida United Numismatists convention, January 3-7, 2006 in Orlando.

"This is simply an astonishing collection," explained Heritage President Greg Rohan. "Mr. Shapiro’s success in procuring Dimes of the highest quality in this important series is plainly evident in his PCGS All-Time rankings:

#1 Mercury Dimes Date Set, Circulation Strikes (1916-1945)

#1 Mercury Dimes FB Date Set, Circulation Strikes (1916-1945)

#1 Mercury Dimes Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1916-1945)

#1 Mercury Dimes FB Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1916-1945)

#1 Mercury Dimes with Varieties, Circulation Strikes (1916-1945)

Plus, the set is highly ranked in a few other categories as well."

"Larry Shapiro started collecting Mercury Dimes at the age of eight," enthused Heritage Co-Chairman Jim Halperin, "when he was given the privilege of searching through roll after roll at the coin shop of his Little League coach, Jonathon Hefferlin of Jonathon’s Coins in Los Angeles. Over the years, Mr. Shapiro completed several sets, and ultimately started having his snow-white Gems certified. He also began traveling to shows and auctions across America to complete his primary set in the highest grade possible. His results are notable!"
