<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 8182237, member: 19855"]As for full collection, I would go with my Mercury Dimes. I put that set together as my first ever set as a teenager. I remember my grandfather (who introduced me to coins) just shaking his head as I purchased them. To him you don't purchase coins, you roll search for the ones you want, but by the 1990's you just couldn't find those in circulation. Yes, I am an adult now with a professional career to where I could afford better dimes, but those worn Mercuries, some even harshly cleaned, are still my favorites. That was a time for me collecting was just having fun in collecting it. Ignorance was bliss when I didn't have to worry about luster, scratches, die states, or cleaning....just the date and mint mark and the thrill of the hunt at the coin shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
