I have a better solution for you. Seems like you like gambling(the seller has 0 feedback). Take that money and go to a casino,put it all on black and hope for the best. That way you know you at least have a fifty percent chance of doubling up or not. I would stay far away from any seller with less then 50 feedback in a month. Especially if you are about to drop a couple hundred of dollars on a coin.

C'OME ON , this is not the advice that I would give a new member. crazyglue -;-most of us agree the coin in question is genuine. IMO the MM looks funky only because of all that good honest wear. ;PCGS slab, while not being 100% fool proof .you can take your chances on because their not that common to be fake. It's your call but I wouldn't lay down more than $625. |

Try to find a coin show in your area. I see those 16D's all the time at shows around me.

Thank you for all of your replies, it has been greatly appreciated. I will probably pass on this coin, mostly because I have seen many G4 that have appealed to me more from a visual standpoint. It is good to know that my paranoia is good to have, but was overly sensitive in this particular case. I will continue to watch it to the end, just in case I can get it for a super deal. Thanks again!

Why does it have to be in PCGS slab?

Things to notice:
- Username is randomly generated.
- 0 feedback
- Joined 3 weeks ago
- Has expensive coins for sale to begin with
- No returns
Most likely stolen images. No returns is what is the most concerning.

Most likely stolen images. Good point. The photography is different on seller's three items. |

Since you're in Mobile, go check out "Judge" at Loop Coin on Government St. Not a better person around to find what you need. I buy BU Morgan rolls from him on a weekly to monthly basis and have never been disappointed.  |

Well, it went for $684 (CoinFrog had closest guess). Anyone here take a dabble?

Is has a very strong date for a coin in just Good Condition. I see Red Book 2015 for the Mercury dime in Good Condition is $1000. What is majority opinion of true value of this coin? If you could get this coin for $650 and it is in good condition that would be well below retail considering what retail is in October 2015. |

I bought a 16-D in a PCGS holder in G-4 condition at a local coin show for $700. I thought it had much better eye appeal than this one, and felt it could have gone G-6 or G-8. My advice would be to find one that appeals to you first, then make sure you are comfortable with the price.

This dime very much reminds me of one I bought a few years ago. It was certified and graded AG-3 by ANACS in an older holder. I also then owned a PCGS slabbed 16-D, graded AG-3 in a PCGS holder that had more reverse wear into the letters. I agreed with the PCGS graded coin but thought that ANACS should take another look. So, I took both coins to the FUN show and sat down with ANACS' chief grader. He agreed that the ANACS dime was stronger. So, I asked if a resubmission might warrant a G-4 grade. His reply was that the better dime was worth a grade of AG-3.9 ... thus, no change.
