Under 100 bucks for all of them in business strike without proofs would be a good offer. Altogether 46 pieces.
SOLD!! Just place your ad with photo in BST, and you have a buyer. I know you must be "kidding", but if you know of anyone. LOL JMHO
A roll of 50 circulated Mercury dimes can be bought for under $75.00. Roosevelt's are more common and less desirable. BU, I doubt it, not by your description.
And that's what I'm depending on (the "less desirable" part). I've got 3 sets: -- raw UNC -- slabbed MS-66/PF-67 -- slabbed MS FT I'm taking a shot at coming out well ahead IF/WHEN the Gov't redesigns the dime and collectors scramble to get the higher graded Roosies. Question is will I live that long.
I don't know. I wasn't collecting in 1945/1946. So I don't know if the price of common Mercs jumped at that time.
Well, neither was I -- I was thinking of a jump to a new sustained level, not a short-term spike. But as I recall from looking at very early editions of the Red Book, Mercury dimes didn't really pick up much of a premium even in 1947 or so. Of course, neither the Red Book nor collectors were talking about MS66 or full bands at that time...
I hear ya but don't hold your breath. The latest designs on other denominations are to change the reverse and keep the front. The dime is so small I don't think we'll see that happen. Having a nice set like you have is great. Best wishes.
Just you wait, we will have the Obama dime before we know it! They are hollering for a woman to be on some money now, how long before we hear the cries to have the First African-American President to be issued on some type of monetary device?
