I don't follow the series. Are you surprised to the upside or to the downside.
Early Dollar auctions I was following were pretty soft.
I believe that the 1926-S with FB is a or the key to the series!
I guess Mr. Hanson is looking to have the top merc dime set?

were the coins stickered?

I don’t think Dimeman plays in that end of the pool.
All I can say is, "Impressive . . . . . Most impressive!"
The 35-s at $90,000. For that money I could own, fill in your preference.
1796 or 97 half is my answer
To me CRAZY money for bragging rights. Some of my favorite coins are graded lower than the same coin in my Registry set. These coins sold for Registry bragging rights which seems to have a very direct connection to establishing the identity of the set owner.

I play in the end where you can touch bottom with your head above water!
My belongings would be in the front yard!
I have all of those in somewhat lower grades, but mine look nice and I like them.
FB sure but $90,000 for a '35-S with an arbitrary number assignment?

Amazing money for amazing coins !!!
Condition rarities and registry fever.....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
That's a lot of dough ..... it must be nice
early date Mercs have been hot for some time and a bright spot not really a surprise at the numbers fun actions always run higher
Fairlaneman, the prices you list in the OP have no meaning to most readers on these boards without context. What should they go for based on previous auction records and sales vs. what they went for? Love to hear your analysis of these prices given my lack of knowledge on high end mercs.....
Best, SH

No sense can be made of this market. Only truth is my coins lose value every time I look. So just enjoy your collection and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain !
@fiftysevener That reference to 'The Wizard of Oz' is very very apt.

Looks like the coin market is very strong and doing well. Good prices to match the good crowds.
.
What should they go for? I do not think there is any real answer for the question. When you get more than 1 person that wants a coin that is being auctioned it looks like the sky is the limit.

Here are the PCGS price guide prices before this auction. PCGS has already adjusted the prices for the coins after the auction.
