I was going to buy the 1937, but I wasn’t fast enough. It’s ok , I’ll keep watching , thanks for all you do Ben

[@bobstrom2967]

Best explanation I've heard about the demand difference between holders from different grading companies. Thanks.

[@R6andS4rider]

Really appreciate the 4-wheeler aspect of this video. Lol

[@brucetelfeyan]

Love this presentation. It parallels my ongoing efforts to assemble a set of proof Walkers for those same seven years.

[@harrybond1485]

Proof mercs.are incredibly inexpensive for such very low mintages.😊

[@TheQuickSilver101]

I don't own one but given how affordable they are I probably should. Thanks, Ben!

[@briank7936]

One of my favorite designs. Never thought about proofs. I just did circulated. Most of mine are raw. Key dates are in holders as bought. I've taken to heart buy the coin not the holder. Only downside is you need 2 or 3 ways to store coins.

[@TheSteveBoyd]

The '36-'42 proofs are *so* tough to get a grade over PR65!

[@stevenwaldman1908]

If you go to the major auctions and shows they are readily available

[@rustybracewell4424]

great looking coins.

[@edwardaustin740]

Sweet video and topic. I have over 200 Mercury dimes for stacking purposes. None look as good as those though. 😆
I really like the ANACS holders. I only have a few coins that are graded. It's a time saver ( if I had more ), to be able to look down at the holder to see what it is before picking them up, but that's just my 10 cents... 😂

[@sinesaii]

I love this. I feel like the market makes no sense.

[@sinesaii]

I collect Mercury dimes in slabs, and I have very good unslabbed coins, and I of course have the 2016 gold one (got a bloody 69 on it), but proofs, I think I need some of these. Perhaps not the first year, but I would like perhaps one nice one, then a few other 64-66 slabs. I avoided them because I could not distinguish them from regular dimes.

[@daviswall3319]

Very nice Mr Geek!

[@jeffw1267]

Watch out for the proofs that don't have full bands. Yes, they exist, and they seem to be mostly dated 1942. You'll also see proofs of all dates with incomplete detail, often on the "E Pluribus Unum" legend on the reverse.

[@yotefan8286]

Really informative Ben thanks for sharing.

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Hi Ben. Most proof Mercury Dimes are a bargain. The 36 is expensive. *>>--->* 🦉

[@donaldinnewmexico]

So, I bought it. LOL.

[@michaelgoodspeed846]

​@@donaldinnewmexicovery nice pick-up - gee only a few over 400 and you got one!!!!

[@michaelgoodspeed846]

​@@donaldinnewmexicoI meant 4000

[@donaldinnewmexico]

@@michaelgoodspeed846 Hey, Michael. Now I'm that much closer to completing a proof Merc set. I still need the 39 & 40.

[@Halley0116]

How about a video on the Walkers in PR from 36-42?

[@johnmcdonald9735]

The winged liberty, freedom of thought

[@tyflock5868]

Thanks Ben!!!

[@milessakauye8819]

Thanks Ben, this was very informative. I'm trying to determine if some of my coins are worth grading and if they are which service I should go with. ANACS is easy for me because they are available at every coin show here in PHX, but when people are asked about who they use for grading, ANACS seems to be lower on the list than the other 3. Do you see a preference in holders for collecting?

[@marcaustin]

Ive been collecting Mercs for 3 years. I have Dozens. Starting to fear at least half of them may be counterfeit based on the price i was able to acquire them for.

[@jeffkeller9009]

Will have to get at least one so I'll have a type set.

[@dwardodwardo643]

Good one, thank you.

[@markjohnson9445]

I kind of like the PR 62, 1936, what are you asking for it ?

[@kevinpoggensee]

Hey Ben

[@Halley0116]

And you cannot get NICE looking Mercs at the Sheet prices - just be ready to pay up for eye appeal

[@philipwhite2639]

This is so true.

[@michaelm7843]

"Fragile, like my ego." LOL.

[@user-oh2hs6jh5x]

Good afternoon Ben

[@michaelgoodspeed846]

Hey Steven, I didn't mean to offend you. Once I said hi Ben - I watched the video - then dud the sort. Please accept my apologies - I guess we need to send to arbitration - lol - Best Wishes

[@michaelgoodspeed846]

Hi Ben

[@donaldinnewmexico]

@@user-oh2hs6jh5x Too many Mai Tais for you. 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

[@michaelgoodspeed846]

​@@user-oh2hs6jh5xI think I gotcha by a few seconds - if you sort by newest and go to the bottom - there I am and you above me - Best wishes

[@cgcoins3639]

I don't know why people don't look at the entire population and then just crossover to the grading service they want... yeah, that cost some money, but is that person a collector or an investor!
Personally, I'd crack out and send to PCGS, I want all my holders the same!

[@tyflock5868]

Collector. It is my set that I sold to Ben. Love Mercury dimes. Have the completed circulated set. Added the proof as a part of the collection.

[@stevemontanya7421]

The 1940 just has that look.

[@mattmatt6572]

Am I wrong or does when people Crack out coins mess up the population?

[@rasbobbo]

So many niches - niche coins, niche holders…

[@johnmcdonald9735]

1937 , SOLD !!! Philadelphia minted no mint mark

[@JustinCase807]

Ooh first to be 6th

[@donaldinnewmexico]
