<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 419023, member: 15309&quot;]Do not under any circumstances buy a raw 1916-D Mercury Dime.&nbsp; It is one of the most counterfeited US coins.&nbsp; If you want to fill the hole, you should buy a copy/replica.&nbsp; If you want to fill it for real, buy a PCGS or NGC slabbed coin and copy the insert from the slab and paste it over the hole.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One more suggestion.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what your budget is but I think you should make it two sets.&nbsp; Low grade (circulated) from 1916-1931 and BU from 1934-1945.&nbsp; The Mercs after 1934 are all affordable (each less than $25) for every date in Mint State condition.&nbsp; It might take you longer to complete the set this way, but you will have a much nicer set in the end.&nbsp; Just a thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am doing the same thing with my intercept shield Mercury Dime set.&nbsp; I am looking for XF-MS62 for 1916-1931 and GEM BU FSB for 1934-1945.&nbsp; The set is coming along nicely and looks pretty good so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
