Semi Key

Im working on a set of Mercury dimes. It's a 2 page dansco, first page qualifications are eye appeal and diagonal bands. Second page is blast white gem BU. It's a fun inexpensive set with only a few more expensive keys. Today I came across this one and pulled the trigger... opinions welcome and appreciated as always. Thanks!

That's how we used to pick them out of the change when we was kids.........

 

Nice grade and look to shoot for. I like it.

 

Dinosaur "when we were kids" well at least you're not biblical like Frank and I'm talking old testament !

 

Nice circ, I would be happy with it!

 

BTW very nice 21 two thumbs up!

 

Looks like a nice VF example, great!

 

Great, honest, solid VF with eye appeal. I like it.

Sharp for a circulated coin.

 

Yup.

can you spell 'dead meat'?

 

Yes it's spelled .....F R A N K.... there...... ya go Moses

 

Fun strategy, nice coin!

 

I like the color of it. There are a couple of marks that would put me off (especially the large one on the reverse above "One"), but overall it is a pleasant coin.

 

Yeah she took a pretty good hit there.

 

NFB, ''Near full - Bands?''

 

Good "filler" now begins the quest for a better example,best of luck!

 

Based on the Rev it would be a VF if you overlooked that the top diagonal bands were nearly flat. The Obs shows a lot of wear on the tops of letters in LIBERTY and the motto seemed to read IN COD WE TRUST. (this might set well in Gloucester, MA.)

 

I like your strategy for this set. Nice eye appealing 1921. Agree with the hit on the reverse, but, IMO, for your collecting strategy, it's not a huge deal.
