My humble completed merc set in a dansco and my 1916-d = NGC AG-03(hairlines are on the slab). :goofer:
Congratulations! Never managed to complete one of those. I found every other Mercury except the 16-D from circulation - twice over, but never a 16-D.
Yep... the first set I almost completed from circulation during my collecting heyday of the mid 50's. Never could find that '16-D.
thanks! this date is routinely overgraded, as are most key-dates(as discussed in the 01-s quarter thread). I think this coin is correctly graded, and verging on being strong for the grade; which is why I bought it. The reverse from 1oclock to 3oclock holds it to a technical AG.
congrats on completing the set! it's one that many aspire to, but few are able to complete. Nice job!
Congats!! has got to be nice to have the set, I am lacking the 16-D myself as well as the 21-D, but have been eyeing one, hahaha, nice job!
