Mercury Dimes-Completed

I finally filled and completed this set. All from circulation except for the key and semi key dates. I purchased those many years ago and finally found the last one. So now I can move on, as if I haven’t already. Lol
Yes, that is a 1916-D. Worn but still clearly visible. Same for the 1921 and 1921-D dates.

Nice, very nice, CN.

 

Perseverance eventually pays dividends. Congrats on your completion.

 

Dang... I wonder why my book made me find a 42/41?

 

That's a beautiful honest wear set CN. Congrats on a long fought and successful battle.

 

Buy a new book

 

Oh no! Not now.... I plugged that hole. Matter of fact that was the second coin I purchased during my coin collecting career that was over a hundred bucks!

 

Sweet, so why did you plug the hole if you have the filler

 

Because you have the wrong book. Lol

 

Pretty well matched set. That's tough to do.

 

She’s worn but not worn out. She still gets around. Lol

 

Only one question for ya, Dave..... Was this a boxed up surprise or was this a long term effort?

 

Sweet set.

 

It took me about 3 years to complete. The hardest was in going through all that junk silver to find coins that were worn alike and matching them to the key and semi-key dates. And I really did go through a ton of junk silver dimes.

 

VERY VERY COOL!

 

Quite an accomplishment!!! Congrats!

 

Thanks, it was difficult to get them are close to the same grade.

 

Very nice collection you have assembled.
