Mercury Dime Short Set - affordable and awesome

Due to the low prices and easily attainable gem sets (1941-1945), the short set is a nice group to collect. If you are going to dabble in the Mercury dime world, these late years are great examples of what high grade Mercuries will look like.

This set I just received is no exception.

The set consists of 15 coins, one for each mint from 1941-1945. A couple of popular varieties are the 1942/1 (big $) and the 1945 micro S. I have neither in this set.

WOAH. I LOVE mercury dimes...

 

so what's the average grades on those?

 

Truly lovely coins. To go one step farther, the FB short set is prohibitively expensive because of the difficulty in finding a 1945 FB.

 

I couldn't say due to my lack of experience in Merc grading. 64-66, maybe a 67 here or there. I really don't know.

 

Finding one is one thing, being able to afford it is another.

 

Wow those are some nice ones!

 

Some may not be a big fan of toning but these are really beautiful. Congradulations on it as well as thanks for showing them.

 

Nice coins!

 

my fav series how do you come by nice sets like this all the time

 

nice mercs I really like that 42, 42-S great color.

 

Very Nice, Really like the oned ones!

 

Gorgeous! I LOVE the 42P and 45S.

 

Stunning set GBroke. The 43D is pristine and really well struck. It's got to be 67FB. I would guess the 44D and 44D to be 66FB. Love the colors on the 42P.

 

Thanks Ben!

 

Awesome, Greg. If I collected Mercs, that would be the type of set that would appeal quite a bit. As per always, you have super taste in toned coins!

 

Here's one for ya!
