    Beautiful dimes! I think a nicely toned Merc is one of the prettiest coins there is. Here is a recent pick-up for my type set:

    Got to love that 44, kaz. Thanks for sharing. You are right light subtle toning truly enhances
    an already gorgeous coin.

  • jesbrokenjesbroken Posts: 10,018 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow, yk it deserves its own box, IMO. I have yet to be able to afford a coin of Mark's, but
    someday. lol. I certainly thank you for sharing this lovely specimen---Jim

    silverpop, nice full rims on all those mercs. Appreciate the look--Jim

    Bochiman, gotta love those price guides. Price guides cannot allow for eye poppers! Thanks for sharing---Jim

    here's the only merc i have. i don't collect them, even though i like the design...but this one has some nice, honest wear...and i found it. plus it looks like it says "in cod we trust" and i thought that was funny at the time. so, it's a keeper.

    You guys have some outstanding dimes! Bochi, I'd be glad to offer you 3x guide price for that one!image

    This design also bears up well to circulation, like the Walker; I find mid grade circs to be quite attractive as well, as shown by the examples in this thread.

    Here is a '37 that I think only grades 63, but I really liked the blue color:

    Just had it crossed from NGC to PCGS (went up 1 point to a 64)
