There is no such thing as unsearched Mercury dime lots any more, so if you buy in bulk you'll just end up with hundreds of common 1940's dates,...
It's worth noting that some desirable buffaloes can be identified without a date, so choose your dateless coins carefully. It's also worth noting...
Fun fact: the designer, Isaac Scott Hathaway, was the first African-American to design a U.S. coin, the Booker T. Washington commemorative that...

I got it! The dime section is cool, I'm glad I spent the extra money. I'll be posting some dime questions to the experts as a result. I recommend...
A very cool piece of American industrial and numismatic history that I had never heard before. Thanks for posting!
Cool, a platypus!
That's what I was thinking. One mega would be enough. Then maybe get a new regular edition in a few years if I felt the need. Plus I get the...
Really pretty coins that have lived a little.
