Hi all, I made a resolution this year to stop buying any more coins until I got a 16-D Merc and a S-VDB Lincoln to "finish" (I use that term loosely, as I will constantly be upgrading) both of those sets. Here's the first one. She ain't too pretty, but she's mine!!
Well...its lunch break--- Nice Coin!!!!! I'm guessing the 16-d is slabbed...it looks like it...I also guess the grade at G-5...it looks at little better than that but I don't think it would make it to VG....am I right? This year I set a few goles with one being, getting the S-VDB since I need less then 10 coin to complete the Cents, from 1909-Date, and so I've been putting back so much money a week and I hope(haha) by the end of this year when I go to the Coin Show I'll be looking for one!!! Last Monday I started paying on a 1908-S IHC...I'll post photo when I bring it home Let us know when you get the S VDB! Speedy
Congrats on your purchase! I just picked up my first key date Mercury last week at my local coin shop's auction. It's a 1921 in about the same condition as your 1916-D.
Thanks for the congrats everyone. I'm glad she meets everyones approval! Old Dan, I think this dime has bought every box of Cracker Jacks...Twice!! Speedy, here's the answer to your question... I don't think I got hurt on it, I paid $400. And I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. Oh yeah, BTW........... I JUST WON (bought) AN S-VDB!!!!!!! That is the seller's pic. I'll post better ones when it arrives.
ndgoflo I think you got a good deal...I've seen a few AG for sale and they were all over $500... Sounds like you got a nice S-VDB...now what are you going to look for since you found both I still think that coin is a little better then a AG but I've been wrong before... Speedy
