Silverfox, How did you come to the bullion conclusion? Would like to know what I should be looking for. Also, these two dimes came from same auction/estate - what are your thoughts on these - are these legit?    |

Because of its condition, it carries no additional numismatic premium above what it could be melted for. Thus, it is essentially a silver bullion coin and good to hold on to for the precious metal content. |

oh - :)
Thanks for the clarification.
Im just real paranoid about my purchases from this one auction - so far nothing has panned out as it was advertised. So it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up with some fakes along with it!!
But something about this quarter doesn't make sense to me. How could it have such luster - I mean it shines - and yet be lacking in detail?
The history I'm getting so far from this estate - is the guy must have been buying cleaned coins that someone was marking up to higher grades and selling them to him - way above what the grade really was.

Post a pic of the mint mark. It looks like a nice rpm.

I don't see a match for this.

There are hairlines on the obverse of the quarter, so it's probably AU details, cleaned, i.e. bullion value. I don't see any signs that either of the Mercury dimes are counterfeit. |

Thanks for input. Thanks FordMan for pointing out a possible RPM. I had no idea what that is - so I looked it up. I am having trouble seeing anything with my eye. I will be ordering loupers. I took some more pics with zoom to see if that would make it clearer for you to see.    |

Old Ford Man - what are you thinking about this possible rpm? Is the D not sharp on the inside like it should be? Thanks for adding to my learning :)

By the way - I had someone on ebay similar to your name here interacting with me about a license plate. I don't remember which state - probably an indiana one. Was that you or a different Ford enthusiast? Edited by CoinMan2003

Different guy. Maybe RPM001? Look up variety vista 74d quarter rpms to see what I mean. It is the doubling.
