<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 783580, member: 4552&quot;]Actually it is not really difficult to acquire that many. I&#039;ve been collecting for well over 60 years now. Although I&#039;ve always liked those and collected a lot of them when they were the present coin in change, I&#039;ve acquired most of them recently at a flea market. There is seller there that just dumps coins in bins and you look through them for what you want. He USED to sell all Mercuy Dimes for $1/each. However, the more you purchased, the lower the price so I would usually buy about 20 to 30 of them and would get them for about $0.75/each. Eventually after finding ones like a 42/41, several 21 and 21D, many 26S&#039;s, I finally told him what he was missing and gave him a Numismedia price list. Now he sells coins for a real, real lot more. </p><p>Now here is a really mind boggling story. Way, way back when I was a kid, a coin store had 10 1916D Mercury Dimes in the window for $1.50 each. Don&#039;t remember where I got that much money, a real lot back then, but I bought them all. Presently have 12 Whitman Classic Albums of them full.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
