Received the 38S Mercury Dime that was Purchased from Carl Wohlforth so it will Replace the One in the Set now. With the Up-Grade I can Now Down-Grade the 36P presently in the Set with My other Lower Graded Coin which is Prettier IMO. The 38S is Going from 64FB to 66FB and the 36P is Going from 66FB to 65FB. No Points Lost on this Deal and have just been waiting to do this Swap Out.
    Has Anyone Else did this Just Because they Liked the Look of the Lower Graded Coin ? Also have one other Coin I want to do this with but First must find a Trade Out that will work like this one did.
      Take Care: Ken

        Ken,

        I set a goal for each coin in my set by grade. I have several coins that I liked the eye appeal so much that I lowered the expected grade on that piece and bumped the grade of another so that I could keep the coin with eye appeal. I originally wanted an MS-67 Walker, but I don't think that I can find one better than my MS-66, so I'll grab a MS-66 Peace dollar down the road instead of the MS-65 I have now.

        Between the last 2 or 3 major auctions, online, and the local shows, I have seen about 50 upgrade candidates. None of them have the toning that I want, so I am "stuck" with this one, unless Bill Walser will sell me his one day.

        Thats about where I am at also. Most Up-Grades are Out of the Question so to Stay Interested the Search has Started for the Really Cool, IMO, Eye Appeal Coins. If some are Down Graded so be it. Unfortunately these Cool Toned Merc's are Hard to Come by. Bought the 36P from NorthEast Coin off eBay and thier Scan Looked just like the Coin when it Arrived. Also Hardly Anyone Bids on Common Date 65 Mercs.image

        Hey Ken,
        I thought that's what second sets are for!!! image
        I'll be upgrading my set, and some of the ones that they replace are just too pretty to part with! So into the "Too Pretty to Part With" (#2) set they go! (except that the boring white ones can accept offers for new homes!) image

        Regards,

        Don
