<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brit in Texas, post: 364836, member: 12971&quot;]Most of the collection you can get for pretty cheap, but there are a few pretty expensive coins and one, the 1916D, that&#039;s really way up there in price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re just starting out my suggestion would be to go to your local coin store, get a whitman folder ($3) and ask to buy a roll of of merc dimes. At the shops I go to they&#039;ll sell you one for just over melt value. A lot of the later date coins are only worth their silver value even in VF condition and higher so you should get some luck picking out quite a few dates from a roll. Make sure to tell the person in the shop you&#039;d like a good selection of dates and hopefully they&#039;ll be willing to help out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also at my local shop there&#039;s a box full of mercs that they&#039;ll price up individually for you, just pick through for the ones you want. That&#039;s another good way to get a kick start.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I like a collection that&#039;s pretty well matched in condition, I&#039;m slowly working my way to getting a complete in about VF where all of the vertical stripes in the &quot;bundle of sticks&quot; (not saying more incase the YN OP is going to research <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) are visible. You can probably get 60% of the collection in that kind of shape for about melt, more if you keep searching.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a fun collection. They&#039;re beautiful coins from MS to VF but below that get ugly quick IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
