<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 17634195, member: 100459&quot;]My father&#039;s coin collection has/had (it&#039;s been split between my father and I.&nbsp; I got an 1862 silver and 3 of the copper mix. (1865, 1868, and an 1874).&nbsp; My family is split between the west coast and the east coast.&nbsp; I married an North Carolina girl and my parents, and my brother and sisters live in California.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t give me a chance to see what coins my brother got.&nbsp; I like to look at coins and am lucky enough to have the resources to get what I want.&nbsp; I did get a chance to purchase many half dollars about a year ago.&nbsp; I&#039;m still trying to figure out if the money I paid for that collection is worth it.&nbsp; I am now trying to start a collection of Mercury Dimes. Dad had a bunch of them, and I am trying to figure out how to start a collection on them.&nbsp; Many of the coins I got were quite nice.</p><p>I need some guidance on the best way to start.&nbsp; I heard mention of &quot;Gray Sheets&quot; or something like that.&nbsp; I live in a remote corner of a tobacco field and most of my neighbors only communicate on the amount of tobacco they will grow this year.&nbsp; I did get in a conversation about turkeys and turkey houses.</p><p>Anyway, any good books about Mercury Dimes?&nbsp; I do have a bunch of Red Books that I got in an auction.&nbsp; I think I paid about $2 for each book.&nbsp; Most of these farmers only read seed catalogs or labels on canned goods.</p><p>Anyway, I would appreciate any help you can give.&nbsp; Oh, yeah, my other hobby is Zane Gray and Louie L&#039;Amour books.&nbsp; I went to one auction, and bought a bunch of coins with one of their novels.&nbsp; </p><p>All my best to you guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
