I came across this ebay auction about 21 hours before it ends. It is for a 1916-D Mercury. As I type this, it has 72 bids and is up to $485.00. However, in looking at the reverse, it sure looks like a 1916-S to me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275022974505  Paul Bulgerin

Well, someone is going to be disappointed when they look for the D and see an S.   |

The buyer will at least have the satisfaction of knowing it's not a counterfeit.

Goes to show that some people have more money, than sense. Good grief!

The seller does accept returns though, weird to say it's a a 21D if it's a 21s but accepts returns for 30 days. Normally when iv seen untrue listings they don't accept returns. At least if it's an s mm they can return it easily.

Perhaps their vision is degrading and need a prescription monitor or phone.

Likely an honest mistake by the seller, but for the buyers. . . come on.  Edited by Ty2020b

I contacted the seller. He insists that it's a D. So it's no longer an "honest mistake."

One look at this seller's other listings suggests not a coin aficionado. I wonder, if upon receipt, the buyer will submit the coin for certification ..... |

That is not a d!  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Nevermind, also just heard back from the seller. " Thank you I appreciate it I believe it is a D I have 1916 s and a great mag glass with a light it is a d thanks" |

Perhaps the seller's tipped a few too many, or it's a case of Pareidolia ....  |
