Complete collection of Mercury dimes in a Dansco 7123 album

Lot Title:	Complete collection of Mercury dimes in a Dansco 7123 album
Lot Number:	781
Description:	Collector appeal: "A". An absolutely premium quality collection by comparison to the typical incomplete, or heavily inconsistent collection, the collector has here managed to compile a near-astonishing collection of Mercury dimes, the large majority of which reach easily into the AU/BU range. Numerous later examples are Choice BU and may contend for full Gem status. One could focus on the 1916-D alone, which is a gorgeous, original example (and not certified!!), genuine and likely to grade VF-25, unless the graders are simply having a bad day. The 1921 (VF) and 1921-D (XF) both exceed expectations, and numerous other non-key pieces should be examined. Although no overdate has been included, the consignor did include a 1945 "micro S". Plan to spend plenty of time with this one.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
