<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 846317, member: 7638&quot;]Some time ago, I thought it would be neat to have a short set of dimes from 1939-1945. My original aim was to have the set in MS66 FB-- then I found out about the 45-P and the overdates, so concessions were made.&nbsp; anyway, I found it rather easy to accumulate these on internet auctions, but when I was done I realized that I basically had a nice set of plain vanilla white, slabbed coins. Not that there is anything wrong with high grade, booming-luster all white dimes, but I felt that mine lacked character. So I started looking around for coins with some color to them, not necessarily the highest grade pieces, but they had to &quot;speak&quot; to me. I think it&#039;s good for collectors to know what&#039;s &#039;out there&#039; beyond ebay and the online auction houses-- lots of good stuff if you poke around and ask for help. Anyway, blah blah blah let&#039;s see some coins-- post your Mercs from the above date range that you really think are special-- blast white coins are fine with me if that&#039;s what you love-- but let&#039;s see &#039;em...&nbsp; I&#039;ll start:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/half%20dimes%20and%20dimes/Dime1944-Stonedobvpcgsogh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/half%20dimes%20and%20dimes/Dime1944-Stonedrevpcgsogh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
