 That's crazy! Someone must be trying to slab every single grade, otherwise why would you pay to have that done? |

It still is a several hundred dollar coin.

Guess I should study up on merc's before blurting out whatever comes to mind, huh? Still, I rolled when I seen PR 1 in print. Never seen that before. Struck me as funny.

wheatguy is right imo, this will sell for a couple hundred easily. 1916-d FR-02 go for around $400. I also think people will bid on this for a lowball set, or simply because it is virtually impossible to find a 16-d in this low of a grade with an identifiable mintmark. :-)

I don't even agree with a PO-1 grade for the coin because most of the central design is intact. It seems TPG's love to give lower end AG/FR coins PO or FR just because theyre more worn. |

Yeah, I think they may have silently netted it for the deep hairlines; though I have noticed that NGC seems to be the strictest graders of this key.

Like wheatguy said, worth a few hundred in the slab (current bidder would pay $253 with BP). And because of all the faked mint marks out there, harder to sell outside the slab.
Recent about good's ranging $550-$750. So will this one hit $400?

A keydate is a keydate! The buyer can say that they have a genuine 1916-D Mercury dime. How many members reading this do not have a genuine 1916-D Merc? I wouldn't pay FR 2 money for it, but I'd pay $124 for sure!  Due to that 'only two' NGC population, I could see someone forking over $400. And it does look like an FR 2 coin anyway, at least in those small pictures... Edited by DNA

Coins like this will always have a market. If you don't have a lot of money but are working on a Mercury set you MUST have a 1916D. If you need that slot filled and are low on cash, bottom grade coins are ideal.

I agree with the perspectives of the supporters of slabbing a key date for authenticity and greatest possible resale value.

Goods going for $550-$750? That low side seems awfully low, I just sold my AG-3 ANACS graded for about $600. I haven't seen a G-4 below $700 for a while.

That is Poor-1. This is why I love NGC. They don't grade crappy like PCGS. To under grade a coin is better than over grading a coin. Remember that. - coincrazed
