Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 182635, member: 4552"]Not sure but you don't sound like your going to sell them so in that case welcome to the world of coin collecting. Now if those Mercury Dimes are in a Whitman Album as you indicated you may also have a slot for a 1942 over 1941. In the later albums there is also a slot for the 42D/41. At a recent coin show here in Illinois I saw a set possibly like the one you discribe for $8,000. However, if many of those coins are in top condition you may far exceed that. You may want to just check out the price guide in the PCGS web site for an example of prices. Remember those are the types of prices a dealer would sell for and not what they would buy from you. You may also want to check out all the coins for errors. Error are becoming a really big thing around here lately. Now if you look at the reverse pages of that Mercury Dime Album you may notice many of the coins appear to be on a slant. Mercury Dimes are notorious for that. Some dealers pay more and some less for that feature. The best thing is to check out the Walmart web site for books and order a Red Book on coins. It's cheap, outdated for prices, but has great information.[/QUOTE]
