Some of my friends are survivalists. A survivalist is a person that believes in a collapse of the currency with silver and gold as a means to barter with. They believe that the price of silver will be going up 20 times what it is now within a few years. If this scenario is true silver winged liberties will be affordable to sell and barter with. Who really knows the future? If I were going to look at these matters in an objective manner I would say that particularly silver is currently priced too low based on the law of Supply and Demand. Historically, (except in the past 100 years), silver has ranged 1 to 12 by law compared with gold. That makes perfect sense based on the amount of silver there is to gold. The current ratio of over 1 to 65 undervalues silver, and some of it must be done artificially by economic powers to keek the currency from collapsing. It could be all nonsense? I collect these dimes not because of the investment value, but because these are currently cheap and I like how nice they look. You see a dime like this that is probably around an AU-50 or an XF-40, (depending on the brand of coffee the grader had that morning), and one can see value in collecting a Winged Liberty/Mercury Dime. The Winged Liberty design was made by Adolph Alexander Weinman, the same designer that created the beautiful Walking Liberty Half Dollar. These two coins are perhaps the most beautiful that the U.S. has ever produced, (exception is St. Gaudens - but I don't have that much money to collect). This particular coin is over 70 years old from the Denver mint. One of those grader people could grade a coin, say it is "Improperly Cleaned with MS Details" or something like that, and to a person like me that coin looks "Impeccably Cleaned with MS Details" slabbed by a National Grading business. I like these Winged Liberty Dimes and I know that eventually that the money I am buying with could be returned when pricing goes up...if I want to sell them.Read full review

The Mercury Dimes are, to me, a gem of a coin ... an added bonus is when you're able to obtain one with Full Bands .... this is one of those coins and I am grateful to have it in my collection.
