<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 272760, member: 4552"]I just want to disagree with everyone. I'd go for a 16D Mercury Dime if I were you. Not sure how often you go to a coin show, but around here we have 3/month, every month, all year long. I've seen 09S VDB Lincolns at practically every show for all types of prices in all types of grades. But a 16D Mercury Dime makes appearances very seldom in any grade. If a dealer I know has one they tell me about it as soon as they see me as if they just had a new baby in the family. One dealer at one show usually has 10 of the 09S VB's but seldom a 16D Merc. One dealer was telling me he has a 16D put away until the buyer can raise the money and has been making payments on it for close to a year. Not so with the 09S. </p><p>My money is on the 16D Mercury Dime. I collect all coins so not a certain type preference. </p><p>If you do go for the Mercury Dime, check out the reverse for a rotation. Mercury Dimes are notorious for rotated reverses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
