Surprised the seller is willing to pay the fees to sleezeebay, shoulda put it up on Crapslist! Max ebay fees are only $250. Otherwise, I would be surprised as well! |

I am starting to call these "clickbait" coins because they exist only to get people to click on the listing and therefore serve as a sort of advertisement for the seller's store or listings. Notwithstanding, this one does a great job at just that. It's near the "top pop", CAC beaned, and toned, a winning combination, but I am not sure it's worth another $20 more than the similarly-gorgeous PCGS MS66FB currently listed for "only" $78k.

I think Paypal has the 24 months no interest promotion.
So about $4,086 per month.

Looking at other 16-Ds on ebay, I found a few in 66FB that are in the high 70s. The coin originally posted is really nice, but I'm not sure if that plus at the end of the grade justifies spending $20k more than what I would have to spend to get a 66FB |

Believe it or not but PCGS certification site put a value of $82,500 on it!  jpsend, if you have "several" you may want to cash in some and retire! |

There must be a safe protocol for paying and taking delivery of a valuable item like this, and if so what is it? Seller sends coin first, then I send payment.   |

I don't care for the coloring of the tarnish (oops - toning) on the REV so I think I will pass this time.

The seller is Pinnacle Rarities, a first class act if there ever was one. The coin is available on their site for $92k.
If you like thick skinned, not messed with original coins it's a nice one.
PCGS with a green bean, it's at the top of the food chain. With a population of 3 in MS-66+ and only 8 higher in MS-67 (I don't know how many of those are beaned), they trade so infrequently it's hard to determine a true value.

But justcarl will probably break it out to put into his many Mercury albums Exactly what I did with several of mine. The one in my set #1 was a PCGS something or other but took it out so long ago, forgot what is was. MS something or other but mostly I liked it for the FSB. Quote:
