1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:50 pm Here's an example of a truly Mint state dime.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1895-S-10c-...em51a7c03ca3 The one that I first posted about is clearly a lower grade around fine maybe better. Report this Post to the Staff
seal4913 Valued Member 70 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:51 pm Ok. Bare with me I'm learning but is the difference the tone or other aspects that I may be over looking Report this Post to the Staff
Rupre07 Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:53 pm seal, the first coin shows no luster or "cartwheel effect". also it shows obvious wear, therefore, not even close to "ms+++" Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:54 pm If you look at the headband, in a mint state example all of liberty will be showing. In this previous example only the LIB was showing, that is one of the easier ways to notice wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Fatman Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:57 pm Nope what he is saying is the first coin's seller is overpricing that coin by 400% or more. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:58 pm I would not grade the first as a FINE. No split band on the reverse bow. Three letters of "Liberty." A VG+, and only with prejudice. To seal4913, Well, this is not a coin anywhere near mint state. It is common. Perhaps the seller chose the wrong photo. Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 10:05 pm @MattewVincent I'd say they chose the wrong pic too, but the seller only has a feedback score of 2, so... Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 10:56 pm I noticed that too, noah-. and it does not leave me with a good feeling. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 12:56 am That seller is either ill informed in numismatics or a crook. I say this as the 1914D Barber (IMO) grades no higher then a fine, and when I checked his past auctions noticed that he sold 2 High Relief 1922 Silver Dollars at $70.00 each. Any educated Peace dollar collector knows how rare 1922 High Relief Silver Dollars are and this seller may be playing on bidder ignorance. [maybe I'm overreacting] [his listing below] 1922, Peace dollar AU-High Relief 104 product reviews\|See original listing Item condition: -- Ended: Jan 10, 201304:54:55 PST Price: US $70.00 [2 sold] Shipping: Varies based on location and shipping method Item location: Springfield Gardens, New York, United States Seller: *Deleted for his privacy (I'll let someone else post it)* \| Seller's other items See product details\| Sell one like this Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 01:16 am I would say this seller knows exactly what he is doing. And, as mentioned already, is looking for an inexperienced collector to buy his over priced, improperly described coins. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
