this set did very well at auction.

Mercury dimes of quality bring strong money

I will miss seeing the set together but new sets will appear.

    I have waited before to release the numbers just to make sure.
    Dont want just anyone borrowing the registry numbers. Yes it does happen....
    Always loved looking at the set.

    The Joshua Set was truly a beautiful set of Mercury Dimes.

    I do think some or a lot of the bidders got caught up in a bidding frenzy!

    It reminds me of the Bassio(sp) Mercurys auctioned some years ago where the 1919-D went for stupid money and beyond. Today it is still worth less than it went for then. Way less!

    As posted in the US Coin Forum...

    Well, I figure since I paid my invoice today....I can post it and add it to my set. Even though I will not be able to take my very own photos of it for a week or two.....here are the photos from Heritage.

    PCGS Shows 41 in this Grade of MS 67 FB with none graded higher....although I would think a few of those 41 are re-submissions hoping for a higher grade. The 1931-D has the fourth lowest Quantity Minted (1,260,000) of the Mercury Dime Series and is considered a Semi-Key even though the 31-D was saved. I am well aware that I likely over paid for my new toy but I am ok with that since it will be in my hands for 20+ years. This will be a cornerstone of my collection for some time and I am sure to enjoy it.

    Always loved that design.

    It is nice to have what I call a 'slash zero' [no coins better in the population registry] in your set.

    Nice looking dime.

    Congratulations.
