<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1024103, member: 15309&quot;]The Mercury Dime is one of the most collectable coins ever produced by the United States.&nbsp; The series really does appeal to a wide variety of collectors.&nbsp; There is the Full Band designation which appeals to the strike conscious collector in the mint state grades.&nbsp; There are affordable Mercs, expensive Mercs, key date Mercs, overdates, and even famous counterfeits.&nbsp; Personally, I enjoy the fantastically toned dimes that seem to appear with with every major auction.&nbsp; Coins like this 1939-D PCGS MS69 FB that sold a few years ago really peak my interest.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1939-DMS691-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1114&amp;Lot_No=146" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1114&amp;Lot_No=146" rel="nofollow">1939-D Mercury Dime PCGS MS69 FB</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Every date/mm can be found in grades ranging from PO1 to MS67.&nbsp; And after going through some of my Mercury Dime photos, I noticed that the design really looks spectacular no matter what the grade of the coin.&nbsp; Let me show you what I mean.&nbsp; Take a look at the photos below and judge for yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: blue">Good</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1921G.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: blue">VG/F</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1935RawF12H-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: blue">XF/AU</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1919AU1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: blue">BU</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1943-S.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: blue">GEM BU</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1936PCGSMS65FBGoldCAC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Typically, the higher the grade, the more attractive the coin.&nbsp; But with this design, I can easily understand people who might like the circulated grades even more than the mint state examples.&nbsp; So which grade of Mercury Dime do you like the most.&nbsp; Feel free to vote in the attached poll and share your comments and photos of this great design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
