    Neat pastel pink and baby blue toning on reverse some of these (especially so on coin #20). Neat set. I'd personally place them in a nickel slide coin album, yet either way- a neat set of nickels and the history going on around those coins while they were being minted is also exciting.

    Actually, as I am looking through the price guide, you might get more bang for your buck if you do silver Washington Quarters, rather than Mercuries. I think you end up getting a lot more silver dollar for dollar and about 75% of the dates in the series can be purchased for less than $10 per coin in XF-AU conditions.

    Nice looking Jeffs bruh!
    Pm me a good shipping address, I have several graded proofs and business strikes I'll add to your collection. Ones that just missed the price jump but are still great looking coins with some value.

    Congrats, @DarkRage666 on your progress. Careful with getting into gold--it is highly addictive! I found that when I got my first gold coin, which was a Saint, I craved more. I thought to myself: "I will build a basic 5 piece set and be happy." So, I did that, but the 'gold bug' just would not go away. I then found I needed to pursue an entire series of a particular type, which ended up being the $2.50 Indian quarters. Nearing completion, I then felt the need to look into older American gold and am now seeking a Classic Head $2.50 and $5.00.

    I don't know if others have encountered this, but it seems particularly so with gold. Have you ever seen the movie, 'Gold' with Matthew McConaughey? That is an insanely good movie about man's relationship with gold, especially when the main protagonist remarks how he did not do all of those years of crazy, wild-west style prospecting for money, per se, but for gold itself--as if they are something completely different.

    Anyway, watch out. It is a rabbit hole, indeed.

    I understand that on silver 100 grams bars from Scottsdale. Once you get 1 you want many more. I am at 7 now lol.

    COINGRATULATIONS! Great accomplishment!

    I’m assuming you have to contact the administrator because there’s not an option otherwise.
