D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 07/06/2014 11:32 pm I am not totally certain but my inclination is toward genuine but you should get it certified to be sure its the real deal. Quote: a coin in that condition should have the mint mark partly worn and should appear connected to the worn edge, as in this example This coin is in a similar condition but the rim is not worn into the mint mark. http://coins.ha.com/itm/mercury-dim.../1206-7839.s Report this Post to the Staff
perfessor Pillar of the Community United States 927 Posts	Posted 07/06/2014 11:55 pm I wouldn't buy it, but only because I don't trust the mint Mark. There are other choices of similar coins with better mint marks. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7621 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 2:00 pm I also agree with Treashunt..... If you have any doubts ALWAYS go the "Ask Seller A Question" route BEFORE hitting the "Bid or But It Now" buttons. It helps to keep the lid on the Rolaids bottle. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 7:16 pm The wear to the mint mark is not even to the rest of the peripheral, almost like glue or sodder on, or could be a S that tooled to the shape of a D. This is one I did stay away from also. Report this Post to the Staff
