I got the BIG Merc !

It's rougher than John Wayne using sandpaper to wipe with, but she's mine.
Best thing is, I bought a folder that was only missing the big girl.
Full set in one day, baby !

Thanks guys !
I'm excited.
I got the whole set for less than $500.


I'm going to switch all of them over to this old folder.
I like it.

 

Congrats! I've got a really nice one of those...Except, uhhh, mine is lacking the "D"

 

Love it!!!! This is the kind of coin I can talk to!

Welcome to "the less than MS-64" gang!!!!

Congrats on completing a very nice set.

 

Do you mind my asking, Where did you get it? (or find it if you were really lucky?)

 

ALWAYS feels good to complete a collection.

Now sit back for a while. Look at it. Enjoy it.
Then after an appropriate time take a deep breath, relax, and start thinking about what the next set will be.

 

Thanks again, everyone.

I bought it at a local coin auction.

 

Way to go!!! The way I buy coins I'll never complete anything -- but I may have a complete type set at the rate I'm going .

Again Congrats!!!

 

Hey at least the "d" is clear most of them are worn to the point where half the "d" is missing . I have 3 which I suspect are 'd"s but I cant tell for sure until I get some better magnification. Yours looks a lot better than my maybes.

 

nice set for $500! :kewl:

 

It 's a good feeling

Congrats on completing the Merc Collection. I'm waiting for a 16D to close out mine before I start upgrading. I just completed my Indian Head cent with a rough 1877, but it's there. I've already started to upgrade my AGs & G to higher grades.
It's a great feeling...bathe in its glowhya::high5:

It's no fun collecting a whole set in one day...I would much rather collect one coin at a time..

 

I already had most of them.
I could complete a second set pretty quick.
