Very nice coin for the grade Adam, congrats on the new pickup. After observing your posts and acquisitions for awhile, you seem to have a soft spot for Mercury and Roosevelt dimes as well as Jefferson nickels. Are those your major collecting focus?

 

You are correct. I have pretty much moved away from Roosevelt except for the keys 1949 P & S in full bands. Mercs are pretty affordable even in high grades and can have some great colors. Same for Jeffersons. I started my collecting career with a Jefferson war set. My collecting has moved more into the key dates in those sets and away from the common stuff.

 

I dont collect either of the dimes, I am a little bit larger denomination guy myself, but I do pickup nice Jeffersons if I feel like I am getting a good deal. Seems lately that Jeffersons have been trading at above prices I am willing to pay. I like to keep it around $20-$40 for most issues, barring the 'keys', but nicely toned BU example are getting harder to find in that range.

I believe you mentioned that you acquired a 38 Proof Jeffie, did you ever post a picture of that one or received it yet?

 

I got it yesterday. Was a 1938 PCGS PR66+. Nothing special about the look so I didnt post it.

 

How much if you dont mind me asking?

 

I thought I had lost this. Till it came out of a old book slipped in the liners of page.

 

I've bought 2 old albums, one an Library Coins album from a dealer friend and a Heritage album from a thrift store. Both were dime albums and I found mercury dimes inside the pages where the pages had started to come apart.

 

I looked f

Beautiful color!
1948 Is a hard date to find Full Steps on.

 

Took a flyer on a Heritage best offer, hoping it had more color than shown

 

Two low cost pick ups. I didn't have either in a high grade either.

 

Finally did the deal!

 

That looks familiar. So are you pleased?

 

Very! This makes the rest of this month easy!

 

Ill have to take pictures of the coin later, NGC has a copyright on the images so.... don't feel like getting sued..

But the next target is either an easy 1909 S VDB, or a harder one of the other rare pennies. Maybe a 43 Copper or 44 Steel? Somehow I think I'll have a long wait for one of those, and then it will cost more than I have to spend!

 

i use ngc pics a lot just take a screen shot and crop out the pic of the coin its your coin anyway

 

Last night win, this will be for my grandson
