sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 1:28 pm I came across a TPG (NGC) graded AG 1916d Merc dime. The dealer was asking $425.00 (before negotiation. What would be a reasonable price to obtain one in this condition? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coinsandcoins32 Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 2:01 pm That seems like a fair price already. $425 seems to be right around, and even on the lower end of what they are selling for on heritage and ebay. So already you have a good price. I bet you could get him down to under $400. Good Luck! Report this Post to the Staff

sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 5:16 pm I'm going to take a second look at this dime tomorrow. There was a second one on offer in the same condition, but raw. I didn't look at the raw one and didn't ask the price. I'm pretty sure I know enough to spot a fake. I'm going to see if the dealer is offering a substantial discount for the raw one. I can throw it in with some dealer-friends submissions to PCGS so I wouldn't even have to pay for the slabbing fee. If I can get pics for both I'll toss them up in here before I pull the trigger.

sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 8:15 pm Here is a pic of the NGC slabbed AG-3: The obverse is the same, except for a scratch that runs from 9 to 11 o'clock; not very big but noticeable. Kind of had trouble checking this against the 4 known reverses for the 1916-D, since the RPM's are not so evident in this grade. Due to the location of the mm, I would say this is reverse die 1? I checked the raw one at the shop. The slabbed one was in better condition. Edited by sjh241 03/01/2013 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 11:13 am Do any of the Merc experts here think this 1916-D looks legit? Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 11:29 am No expert, but it looks like 1. Too far gone to see any evident die-crack. Report this Post to the Staff
