I did a little research and saw a little about both of them. Dominick I saw auction records for his merc set and it made me drool. Once I get my type set completed, at the current rate in 5 years, I’m getting back to my merc set. I’ve got a decent start with some top pops but a long ways to go. I would love to hear more about them. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woods020 Posted October 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2021 My favorite merc I currently own. I have to bite the bullet and get his big brother from Denver at some point. I may have a kidney and a few various other organs for sale at some point to afford it if anyone is in the market for some used organs. rrantique, AcesKings, Coinbuf and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @Woods020 Much as I hate to admit it, your first year of Issue Mercury has a lot more detail than the Centennial "business strike" I got rendered in gold. Great acquisition! 👍 Woods020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting toning for these. For some reason mercs seem to tone fairly predictably and usually not attractive. CIII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woods020 Posted October 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Here is a nicely toned, to me atleast, merc. with rotated die. I have an album as well I have started working on cherry picking raw examples as I see them. Surprisingly there are a LOT of nice mercs raw in the wild. All the other coins in the album are high grades with full bands, but this one I had to give a spot Edited October 7, 2021 by Woods020 CIII, Coinbuf, AcesKings and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
