Merc guys - Check out the Joshua II upgrade

What a set. He upgrades and all he does is add a pop 1 1918 MS67FB coin. I would be envious, but I cannot comprehend collecting at this level. Good job!

    It must be Very Cool to own a Pop 1 Coin.image For sure it wll never happen in the Set of mine.
      Al and Dennis: Before My hair was thick and tinges of Gray. Thanks to You Guys it is now thinning and pure White. Actually I liked the Hair when it was thick (Full Strike) and tinges of Gray (Moderate Tone) better than the Weak Strike and Blast White look it has now.image Take Care: Ken

      I also noticed the Joshua II set upgrade. I would to have some of his handme downs. The fact is that I most likely wouldn't be able to afford those either! I guess I will have to cotinue to look at raw dimes and get lucky sending them in to PCGS.image

      Easy Al, Easy. You Must Remember some People just do not Like works of Art. (Joshua's Set) I am sure the rest of Us appreciate what He (Joshua) is trying to accompolish. image If I had the Money you could Bet Your Ass I would do the same thing.image

      The Joshua II collection more or less defines the word "awesome". But, it would absolutely define that word if there were prictures!

      But Ken, you sly dog...upgrading and jumping into 4th place. I'm pleased that you still see fit to talk to us little people!

    5. Thank you for the compliments on the set. It shows what dealing with some of the best dealers will do for you. When a great coin comes on the market someone will call me about it. As for scans, I'm not that great with technical aspects and have never taken scans of anything. I will have either Heritage or Doug Winter's wife take images of the coins for everyone to see in the next month or two. Some of my upgrades are appearing on teletrade - not by me but with a dealer I use. I will have a few others which I will offer to the board. Sorry Grip I never got a message, I don't think I had my PM
      turned on - told you I wasn't very good at technical things. Again, thank you for the messages and yes it is a really great set.
    6. Welcome Joshua,
      To the boards. You truly have a fine set.
      I think any of us Merc collectors would be happy to get some of your coins.
      I know for sure I am one that would love to have some of your coins in my set.
