Mercury Dime Variety Image Thread... Post Them if You Have Them...

Believe it or not I am starting with a 1928-S Large S which is the first variety required for the Complete Variety Set.

fcloud · February 19, 2012 8:16AM

The second in the series is 1929-S DDO

fcloud · February 19, 2012 8:17AM

The next coin required for the set is 1931-D DDO

fcloud · February 19, 2012 8:52AM

1931-S DDO is the next required variety.

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 9:09AM

I wish I had some of these darn things. They are so cute.

Maybe I can find something to post later. Gotta go running...

fcloud · February 19, 2012 9:55AM

1935-S/S

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 11:34AM

1936 DDO FS-101 PCGS MS63FB....I do not own this one any more but the photos I took show the DDO nicely. I hope the new owner doesn't mind. I have not taken photos of my Top Pop yet....one day.

1936-S FS-110 PCGS MS65FB...was NGC MS65FB when I took the photos ( Go visit the dead horse threads for more info

)

JRocco · February 19, 2012 11:40AM

Here is a 37 DDO

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 11:47AM

Cool, JRocco...here is my 1937 DDO FS-101 ANACS MS63FB. It is in the Cherrypickers' Guide but it is not included in the PCGS Registry Set. Not many people have this one.

fcloud · February 19, 2012 12:06PM

1939 DDO

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 12:13PM

Tony, you skipped the 37-S. You are now going out of order....oh, the humanity!

fcloud · February 19, 2012 12:18PM

You caught me off with the 1937. I guess I will have to add it here.

By the way, I'm glad you did the FS110. LOL

1937-S DDO

DIMEMAN · February 19, 2012 12:35PM

I don't have any real varieties.......they are all just coins with well placed die gouges!

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 12:39PM

<< I don't have any real varieties.......they are all just coins with well placed die gouges! >>

So, I guess you are a widget collector like us then?

fcloud · February 19, 2012 12:53PM

I was hoping to get more participation. Oh well, next up 1939-D/D

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 10:49PM

Here is my raw au 1940-S RMP-001 FS-501 .... I do not have photos of my MS66.

And because I do not think anyone else has one, besides Jon...here is my
1940-S FS-901 which is a CONECA DDO-002 & DDR-001 ANACS MS66

Sellers Photos...I was lucky it worked out for me to be the right variety.
Oh, the coin is bright white by the way...and out of that silly ANACS holder...getting ready for a trip to PCGS.

keyman64 · February 19, 2012 10:52PM

Tony, I was hoping for broader participation as well. I know a couple of people here that have a variety or two...there is still a chance. I was surprised by JRocco's post. I thought that was way cool. You never know who might chime in with something.

fcloud · February 21, 2012 9:20PM

I believe the 1941 DDO is going to be the toughest variety in the series. Only three graded at PCGS so far.

lasvegasteddy · February 21, 2012 9:32PM

i can only link my ebay buy here...great pix though...
it looks like doubling of profile on forehead,below nose and eye
why i did buy this beat up lil lady is look at "R" of liberty...that's very pronounced

1944 merc

It would be interesting to see in hand...just can't tell much from the pics. Unfortunately, it is not a recognized variety.

lordmarcovan · February 22, 2012 12:08AM

I've got a 1935-S Merc (I think it was) that I dug while detecting, which sure looks like it has a RPM. But I've lost the pix of it.

Anyway, it's just a humble dug coin, nothing like the beauties here.

Would love to see a pic of it. If it is the S/S then it is a pretty rare coin even if it is not in Mint State. Tough coin to find.

Cocoinut · February 22, 2012 12:22AM

Nice coins, Tony!

If I have any of the varieties in my set, they're unattributed. The photos I have don't show enough detail, so I'll have to check them next time I go to the SDB.

Jim

fcloud · February 22, 2012 9:11AM

Although, the coins are mine. Many of the images are the work of PCGS. The ones with the white background are shown in CoinFacts.

Harry779 · February 22, 2012 9:18AM

One of the newest for the CPG.

1942-S Inv MM

LeeBone · February 23, 2012 1:00PM

Off-Center Mercs in PCGS holders are a little tougher to locate

keyman64 · February 24, 2012 9:14AM

Terrible image I know but it is all I have...It is now in an Attributed FS-501 PCGS AU58 Holder....mostly white.

Harry779 · February 24, 2012 10:09AM

keyman64 · February 24, 2012 10:36AM

Harry779 has some cool Mercs...you ever think about joining the "crazy people" to put together your own Merc Complete Variety Set. Some of us have extras that could use a good home you know. You could have at least half the set complete pretty quick if you wanted to go that direction....

fcloud · February 24, 2012 10:42AM

Jim, You may want to take a close look at your 1937-S. I think you will find it is a DDO.

GMan · February 24, 2012 12:28PM

I guess it's a variety?

Cocoinut · February 24, 2012 1:21PM

Tony,

This is the best pic I have of my 37-S. I'm not quite sure what to look for to determine if it's a DDO, but there appears to be some doubling to the north in IN GOD, but to the south of the R in TRUST. It doesn't make sense that it would go both ways. I don't see any doubling in the date or designer's initials. If you can tell me what to look for, I'll check the coin more closely when I get a chance.

Jim

fcloud · February 24, 2012 1:31PM

Here is the place to look.

Congrats on your TWO new TOP POPS!

I wonder when the new varieties will be added to the REGISTRY SETS.
