<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 732911, member: 15309"]I don't actively collect Mercury Dimes. This coin is part of an album collection that I was putting together a few years ago by cherry picking NNC graded coins on E-Bay. NNC would over grade every coin by 3-5 points. As a result, the value of the coin in the holder was usually less than the actual value because of the severe lack of confidence in NNC's assigned grade. I tried to assemble an album short set of high grade NNC Merc's by cherry picking coins that were only overgrade by 1-2 grades. Unfortunately the project came to an end when E-Bay banned the use of TPG names in auction titles. I rarely purchase raw toned coins, so most of this collection is untoned. Here is what the collection looks like.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/TheAtlanticCitySetofMercuryDimesPar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the coins are MS65+ and many have full bands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
