<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 1387863, member: 19855"]Zeke,</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my experience speaking but I totally agree. I had a set of F or better Mercury dimes. I decided a little over a year ago to upgrade everything to VF, which wasn't a bad choice as I had only a total of 8 fine Mercs. These were all before 1925 in date. A couple were easy enough at coin show but the other five were nearly impossible to find. I went to coin shows, coin shops in two cities, and couldn't find them. Gave up and went to ebay. After searching day by day I was able to knock a few off, but they were pricey ($25 or more). My last 3 are moderately pricey, and I was fortunate to find 2 just the other day paying $50 for each. I nabbed them as I have been having such a hard time finding XF coins in late teens and twenties. I would follow the advice as the gentlemen listed above about searching junk bins and coin shows/shops, but I've tried it here in the middle of no where IN and at shows in Indianapolis and gave up the searching for a cheap XF Merc dated in the teens and twenties coin. Best wishes and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
