<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 766277, member: 15309&quot;]I agree with Jason.&nbsp; It sounds like you like all of the coin designs.&nbsp; You may be better off assembling a type set if that is the case.&nbsp; Many of the series you have listed are very expensive to complete.&nbsp; The SLQ and WLH are very challenging and the Mercury Dime series is no joke due to the key dates and the total number of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the start to your Mercury Dime set and if I were collecting this series, I would start the exact same way.&nbsp; Treat the 1934-1945 coins as a short set and buy MS66FB+ for every issue except the overdates and the 1945-P.&nbsp; However, I always found the 1934-45 short set a little tedious and tried to spice it up by looking for toned examples or other interesting varieties.&nbsp; Want a cool coin, look for a 1941-S or 1942-S with a &quot;trumpet tail S&quot; and a broken nose.&nbsp; I do have one word of warning which it looks like you may have already learned.&nbsp; Due to the size and relief of these coins, they are incredibly difficult to photograph.&nbsp; A fact that has always left me feeling a little blue.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1945-DPCGSMS66FB2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck with your new adventure and a belated welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
