LISTING PHOTOS Click photo to enlarge Page Views: 5565 Date Added: 06/12/2004 Last Updated: 06/12/2004 Price: Description: This is one interesting and very collectible lot. It contains something for just about everybody. The 100 pictures hopefully will show you just what it is all about. Consisting of US and Foreign Coins, old jewelry, stamps, old newspapers, antique collectibles, baseball cards, and a whole lot more. I hope you like this lot since I put a lot of time into putting it together. The lot mostly comes from two sources. One is a former dealer called the Coin Corner who was part of an antique collective. He got out of the business or it failed, I am not sure why it closed and his inventory liquidated at auction where I won several items including the dealer binder of Mercury Dimes being offered here. The Washington Quarters and Jefferson Nickels were from other parts of his inventory that I won that I simply added to the Dime binder. This is the last of the coins from that buy and are offered here just as I got them meaning I did not cherry pick or check them for varieties or whatever. The information on the flips appears to be accurate although in my opinion I would grade a few lower or higher than they did. I have provided 3 closeups of the key date in the Mercury dime series and I clearly see a D in item.
