I have seen that coin in hand and if memory serves me correctly....with a slight tilt the coin looks exactly like KLRC's photo....super eye appeal!
Very nice looking Mercs... One thing I wish the TPG's would offer is some colored type of holders. Even slight color shifts, as some coins might pop better... just my opinion...
Might erode the value of my OGH Mercs a bit... that's the reason why I've been seeing quite a few people who prefer the OGH to the New Blue... Mercs just look better in them for some reason.
True, I saw one recently in an OGH holder I'm considering.. have to look at it again to really decide...
At long last, the Wandering Half has arrived. And...it brought a friend! So...two more holes down in the 7070. We're getting into the pricey stuff soon. *lol* As a slight tangent...these guys ALSO arrived today. Both are in PCGS holders, graded Very Choice New PPQ64. Normally not my thing (nice though they are) but I couldn't pass em up....the serial numbers will explain why.
Picked this up for $2.54 tonight out of the dealers melt bin. Numismedia prices it at $72 in G4. This dealers melt bucket of dimes is awesome... That's a '93-O, '94-O, and '95-S all pulled out of it for a total price of... $8.46. Best part was I got there about 30 seconds ahead of this other guy... but for some reason, they helped him first, and he spent about 30 minutes going through the dimes with his loupe... picked out some roosies, left this in there... thanks dude, whomever you are.
Very cool! I need all of those for my Barber Dime album too!!!! Been putting together a Dansco w/ dimes I've gotten for melt or close to it. Want to double your money really fast, triple??
Haha, I'm actually looking to buy a dansco for barbers to put a set together now, with one rule... pay no more than double melt. If you give me a list of what you're looking for, I might be able to find some for you... any semi-keys or keys, sorry, I'm keeping those, haha.
