Appears to Me that alot of Set owners from other series take the Registry a whole lot seriously than We do. What do you think? To Me it is only a question of whether you have any Morals and whether you are a True Collector. Edited To Add: Today(1-04-2002) went to the Registry and noticed that updates have been made to 10 different sets. The updates included some Very Hard dates to find in the conditions that were added. Looks like the Mercury Dime Collectors would rather Collect than sit around and Whine about trival problems. Sure some problems are present,but nothing that is EARTH Shattering IMO. Take Care and the Fun has just Begun. Ken

I just left my only thought about this in another thread. I said when the time comes to get my coins reholdered with my name on them, they will know that I own them. This is one sure fire way of telling the truth. If we all want our coins petigreed properly, then I dont think if someone was "leasing" a coin could get it from the rightful owner and put thier name on it. I think that would be when the line would be drawn. What are your thoughts? I couldn't sleep at night knowing that I was that dishonest as to cheat at such a game. This was set out to be a fun thing for the collector. Anyway, enough from this corner, I hope everyone has a very prosperous New Year!!!!!!

hi
everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
All I have to say about my set of Mercs is that I own all of them.
We joke and have fun with each other and that is the way it should be.
Leasing coins for a set is NOT the way to have fun in our hobby and anyone who does this
is not a collector but a scammer and lowlife.
I hope that no one from this forum would stoop that low.

To All Have a Happy new year

Just give me a 67FB insert, and I can stare at it for hours "thinking" how nice the coin would look! LOL!
I guess that I should re-think that one before I lose any credibility, although my "Winged Liberty Heads" keep reminding me of freedom of thought!
Enjoy the game, and have a Happy '02!
Oh yeah, and keep those thoughts "free"!
Regards,
Don

If you life is so empty you have to stoop to using borrowed coins for your registry, then I feel sorry for you.
I really think the Mercury folks are a great bunch of people and doubt that anyone would feel the need to "borrow" coins. Maybe it is a modern disease? All this said, I have ignored the lengthy posts about "leasing" as I do not want to feed the trolls more.
How about them Oregon Ducks!!!
I Left a Duck thread on U.S. forum Oregon 38 Colorado 16
and it was not even that close!!!

<< <i>If I were leasing, I would certainly pick higher graded coins that I presently own. Actually, I dont really care all that much about the thread, becuase the satifisfaction is in ownership, not registryship (is that a word?).
If you life is so empty you have to stoop to using borrowed coins for your registry, then I feel sorry for you. >>
My feelings exactly! What pride could you possibly derive from a Reg Set that is all numbers and no coins?

I have to watch you.
You are silpping up and will catch me if I am not careful.

While we're on the subject of mercs, what are your thoughts about the Kritzman collection being sold at the FUN sale?
Kyle
As far as his dimes go, it's fascinating that his coins range from non-gradable (his 19-D; 36-S; 44-P; and 44-D/D) up to MS67. It's really clear that he focused on one attribute, the strike of coin!
I have other coins that right now take priority, so I don't plan on bidding aggressively on his coins. But it might be fun to bid on one of his less expensive coins. I think it would be neat to own (not lease!) a coin pedigreed from his collection. What do the rest of the dime collectors think?

I am going to get with the program one of these days, I had a scanner that did a wonderful job, but caused so many other problems with the pc, I just put it up, and I am checking on that Camera like you have, to see about getting one like that, since it does such a great job on your coins. Well the 24S is not FB (at least not noted), but I will see how close it is when it arrives. I bought a real nice microscope, and have made notes of the die cracks and other devices on all my dimes, I get real excited to see so many differences in each dime. So I hope in the near future, you and our clan of mercury dime collectors, can see my dimes that I have spent alot of time putting together. As far as one comment that was made in an earlier reply, I am a real collector, I have collected for more than 35 years, and now OWN, a full complete set of the following, all circulated: Indian cents, Lincoln cents, buffalo nickels, jefferson nickels *82% are Full steps w/all UNCS., mercury dimes, roosevelt dimes, washington quarters, walking halves, franklin halves, peace dollars, ( 8 short) of completing Morgans. And with all that, I am well on my way in completing the barber series (dimes, quarters, halves). I spend alot of time with other people in the club, helping them with their sets as well, I especially enjoy helping the kids, they get so excited, when they find one they need. The main and only reason I started my collection on mercury dimes, I really think they are the most beautiful coin minted,(just my opinion) and wanted to challenge myself, to complete a real pretty (white) set, all slabbed. But I must admit, it is fun to stay on top, and talk to all of you about our sets. Well, enough of this, and sorry if I rambled to much.

Now, more seriously, there sure are some nice up-grades. That 18-D strikes me as a serious coin. And Fairlaneman finding 2 (!) coins to add...neat!! Pat (PTVETTER) and I (and others) are being left in the dust!
Is anyone here seriously considering bidding on the Kritzman coins? No need to disclose which coin(s), but is anyone going to pursue these coins?
Mark
This makes what, 2 or is it 3 great collections of these little jewels that will have been auctioned in the last few years. I have all of the Catalogs, just don't spend to much time studying these.
I bid on one Kristmen,a serious bid but found some others without the signature price attached .Good luck to you and KEN.
