I'm reading and learning about Mercury dimes-- grading, variations, values, etc in preparation for trying to sort and assess a large number of dimes. In doing so I came across this ebay listing. I don't get it. First of all, MS65-- really? Second, even if so and even with FB, $105.99-- really? I don't understand the grade or price of this coin. Do you see a reason why the asking price would be almost three times the listed PCGS retail value? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1943-D-Merc...em19d72c3f80Edited by ThisIsFun

I thought to myself even before looking, "probably someone hoping to get a premium for the toning". After seeing it I think that's what's going on but the toning on this one isn't my cup of tea.

I am not surprise for the prices ebay seller place upon their items, there are some rediculus prices we all have seen too often. ebay is a great place for free advertisement, it used to be easy to sell, now everyone has budget awareness, hoping to find a rough gem. edit: Coins also can tone after in their respective holder (slab), but I agree with jokingjoker, it is rather distasteful.

PCGS's own guide has it listed at $39 - this seller is hoping to cash in on the "monster toning" fad, IMHO.

I apologize. Dyscalculia got me again. I read this as 1934D.
Never mind . . . Cheddar.

I'm sorry, but this coin has ZERO eye appeal. The toning looks like it was removed with a strip of tape.  |

For "eye appeal", the worst MS65 coin I've ever seen. |
