Seller lowers his price, less the juice. No sale at a fraction of previous prices. H-m-m-m.  |

if 130K was a pretty good price than at 113,750 it should be flying out the door!

what is it worth in 66? I don't think I'd be willing to pay so much for a subjective grade.

There are many more interesting, historic and rarer coins for far less money; it's OK if you're a Mercury dime fanatic, and you want to blow a ridiculous amount of money on it. |

You wont think is ridiculous amount of money if your return in a few year greater then what you pay for, this is what rare coins all about, by the same token, it can go reverse and lose a lot of money. I think the series for Mercury dimes is a fading fade for the time, and is good if you can afford such a high end coin for the amount of money other had originally paid for the same quality. |

I don't get all the hate. This coin is priced tens of thousands below market. If you disagree with the grade, that's one thing, but if you wanted an MS67 1916-D before this appeared I'd have told you to budget $150,000.

I agree SD, if money were no object, and the discount is great. I would have bought it already. I can see this one going back into the high $160-$180K range when the series get back into popularity, maybe as soon as next year for the 100 year anniversary.

Sharp observation (as usual), macmercury. Coins can be cyclical but quality will always stand up to be counted. The buying demographic for this coin is recession-proof but susceptible to concerns about the overall economy. When someone's ready to buy this coin, the check will be written and that's that.

I don't have any objection to anyone who wants to buy this coin; by all means, if you think it has good value at that price, go for it. My own personal feelings are that it isn't a coin I would spend such money on; in my opinion, it doesn't represent good value to me.

See, I would be happy with that coin as long as I could read the date. That is my acid test. It must be since I just lack five coins to complete my LSQ set. You know which ones I am talking about probably. I start to choke when asked a coin with a just legible date is going for 400-500 bucks. The 1916 I would pay for if it has a date. I will collect every other one first. Coins like the dime we are talking about are investment vehicles and not for average guy. What intrinsic value does that dime have except what is attributed to it? In 20 years someone might discover a horde of these coins and the value drops. This is like paying 10 million dollars for a painting. What can you do with it besides put it in some vault unless you are Donald Trump or Bill Gates. Keep it on the wall of your house and you get robbed by guys in ski masks toting AR-15's.

I fully trust the USPS with this coin. Hopefully it won't need a signature confirmation so the mailman can just leave it in my mailbox and I can get it when I get off work 9 hours later.
