Nice white shiny Mercury lures

Back in the 80's I used to look for superb gem raw Mercs that were nice and shiny. I grabbed them whenever I saw them and threw them into 2X2's. I just saw some that were in a SB for years and guess what....they are still nice and white without a touch of tone. Just little luster bombs or the old cliche...fishing lures.
Snapped some picks a few years back but they still all look the same.
Anyone got any nice non toned Mercs out there ?
Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

That 44-D is amazing!
I've got a few I picked up recently in old Bowers and Ruddy flips that are still bright white. I'll have to try and photograph them.

Nice strike on the OP's 39 and the 20!

Mercs are fun and still reasonably priced.
Used to grab slabbed examples too back in the day.
Nice coins guys.
It's good to see that some silver mixes will stay stable for quite a while if kept in the right
environment.
A lot of white Mercs like to stay white
Nice!
I don't have one to share at the moment, but I would be proud to own some of the beauties shown here.
