<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Airborne Rick, post: 1371653, member: 36252&quot;]All,</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe it or not this is my first post here, so yes I&#039;m a newcomer.&nbsp; I&#039;ve lurked in the shadows for a while, and gained a good bit of great info from each of the posters here.&nbsp; That said, I have come upon a new situation with my own collection and would appreciate your feedback.&nbsp; So here goes:</p><p><br /></p><p>About a year ago I started shifting into Silver.&nbsp; I love junk silver coins and have finally accumulated to the point I am now scrutinizing the individual dates and conditions.&nbsp; I have five mercury dimes that are confusing me a bit.&nbsp; I believe they might have some value, but I&#039;m not certain.&nbsp; Worst case scenario they are still nice years for this coin, best case I have a few hard to find mints.&nbsp; Half of what is confusing me is the way the 3rd Edition Whitman Redbook lists the valuation for each of them.&nbsp; For example, the redbook shows a 1945 no mint mercury at MS64-FB at 5,350.&nbsp; Then one column over it shows me 28 for an MS65.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So here is what I may or may not be dealing with:</p><p><br /></p><p>1917D - Mint for that year was 9,402,000 and at MS-63 it shows 350</p><p>1936D - Mint for that year was 16,132,000 and at MS-64FB it shows 120</p><p>1939S - Mint for that year was 10,540,000 and at MS64-FB it shows 200</p><p>1943S - Mint fot that year was 60,400,00 but I believe I may have a trumpet tail mint stamp.&nbsp; For the trumpet tail S at MS64FB that variant shows 500</p><p>1945 - Mint for that die (no mint stamp) was 159,130,000 but once again I&#039;m having issues understanding what I am seeing.&nbsp; For MS-64FB the redbook shows 5350, but right next to it I see MS65 show 28.&nbsp; Then third column over it shows MS-65FB at 12,750.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So before I look like a complete fool when I negotiate sale of these dimes, I am hoping you guys can help me sort out reality.&nbsp; I rarely sell or trade, but I&#039;m considering doing so and need to know what I really have.&nbsp; I will attempt to take a few good photos to attach to this.&nbsp; Again, I got these out of a small bag of junk silver a while back, so I stand to lose nothing if you tell me I&#039;m on a goose chase.&nbsp; I appreciate your advice, so let me have it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,&nbsp; Rick</p><p><br /></p><p>(ok photos from my phone camera aren&#039;t working out - stay tuned while I figure out how to get some good resolution pics uploaded.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
