    The last coin is not a dime and doesn't match your set. Please sell it to me image

    All three are gorgeous, but the double dime is a killer.

    TD,

    If your wife is doing double dimes then she is REQUIRED to do half dimes! image

    All three gorgeous, but man, that Merc is a screamin' monster.

  • All three are awesome. I would give slight edge to the DD over the Merc....but it's closeimage

    It's got my vote.
  • I passed this thread up the first time but opened it the second time I seen it. Now I'm glad I got to see your wife's coins. She has a good collector eye indeed.

    Pretty Cool. Congrats, I've tried to get my wife into it. But no luck. Did you have to push her a little, or did she show interest right away?

    Gotta get a cool Newman Bust Dime next!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I will trade you three 1876-p Seated dimes for just your one 1876 double dime! Yes, they will be culls, but you have the words "trade" and "nut" in your screen name, so I've got my hopes up. image

    On a more serious note, these are all gorgeous proofs I'd love to own, each being well worth whatever was paid.

    Really? At about $4,500 for the Merc and $20,000 for the Twenty Cent Piece?

    Great choices-----you have taught her well! image I think that the Merc is the 'prettiest' in color but The double time is my favorite denomination.
