Winged Liberty Head Dimes have been keeping me busy..

Dear Journal: Since we last spoke I have been busy gathering Mercury Dimes for the short set, that I started two weeks ago. I have been having so much fun that I just may turn it in to a long set but that is a story for later. Now back to the short set. All the coins that I have picked up so far have been surprisingly to me fairly inexpensive. The first one I acquired was a MS66 1945 micro S a very nice example. I had a 1942 unc coin in my raw collection that I thought was pretty good even though I paid a whopping $3.00 for it, it graded out MS66. I then bought a 1942D and a 1944S both MS67 and both of these were in old NGC holders the 1944S # is 060963 If any one could tell me approximately when this coin was graded I would appreciate it, as I would like to include that in my description. Personally I have never seen one that low. The coins were both toned I'm not crazy about toned coins, but I may change my mind on that. The one that I added tonight is a very good one 1941S MS67FB, along with the micro S they are the corner stones of the set so far. I ordered a UNC 1/10 0z Buffalo and it is back ordered with a shipping date now of 8-27 hopefully it will be in the first August submission most likely the only August submission. When I first ordered it the shipping date was the 12Th. I am now getting close to 40,000 Pt's and am in three digit numbers in the rankings.
