I was a rabid coin collector in my earlier years, too. I wonder how many of us have numistmatistic tendencies, or have in the past! A whole bunch, I bet.
Record collectors are the same way about label variatons and alternate takes as coin collectors are about similarly miniscule minutiae, and that Mercury dime certainly did have all the right stuff. But between art, coins, stamps and records, I gotta say I'm pretty happy that you'd be very hard pressed to find a record that would garner an $8700 bid. I think it's more fun collecting things that typically cap at around $5000 (for records) to $15,000 (for phonographs).
