SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 8:21 pm Good on the seller for taking care of you. I hate to have to put it this way, though, but 15 seconds of research (that's what it took me) would have shown you that the second slot in that album is for the "D." This is numismatics. Knowledge is king, and you probably wouldn't have had a realistic SNAD because of how the seller worded the auction. Maybe, but it would have been a battle if the seller had stood their ground.

I'm really really happy that the seller agreed to cancel the transaction, that was very honest of them.Plus, even if the coin was a "1916 d" Mercury dime their are more fakes(altered dates/mintmark or straight up fakes) than real ones out there.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 11:36 am Remember that the 16D Mercury dime is one of the most counterfeited coins on Earth. Even if there was one in that set, chances are it would be a fake. And too since the photos are so bad, even the 21 and 21D may not be any good. All to much of a chance with ebay and uncertified coins. Report this Post to the Staff

I did, and 15 seconds of research showed me that the second slot in that album can also be for the "S". Example: 111272820492 Report this Post to the Staff
