I would say it is atleast MS 63 as far as grade. Does the CCF community think 20 dollars is a fair price? Report this Post to the Staff

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 6:04 pm I would think $20 for gem state (MS 65) common date merc might be more appropriate. For MS 63, I wouldn't pay more than $8-$10. Is it a micro S? If so, then it's a great price! Report this Post to the Staff

Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 7:05 pm did you seen it or saw it sorry I always correct people on that Like the others said it seems a bit high, but I always tell people if they like the coin, the way it shines, is toned, whatever then a fair price is what you are willing to pay Report this Post to the Staff
rkrj Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 9:15 pm Yes I saw it. I really like the way it looked. The guy said he graded it himself at MS 65 but I am not an expert graded and without my loupe and my grading book it was hard to judge it accurately for myself. He said something about getting it graded so I might let him get it done and than buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 10:16 pm It is fairly easy to get a graded MS-65 Merc on ebay for about $20, I even saw some completed auctions of 66s for under $30. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/08/2011 08:29 am Ask if he gets it graded will you have to pay more. Look at it yourself first and see if all bands on the reverse are clear. Even the normally overpriced Red Book lists that one as $28 in MS-65 but only $12 in MS-63 Report this Post to the Staff
