I am in the market for a slabbed 1916 D dime. PCGS or NGC I want to upgrade from my 1916 d raw in good condition dime. Greysheet bid is 1225 and ask 1325 in vg. What is a realistic price for a VG in todays market ? There are a couple of vg10 on ebay close to 2,000. I contacted the sellers and that stated that the VG10 are worth the premium. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, John |

The last few slabbed VG10's at Heritage have hammered between $1400-1500, including a couple last month. Personally, I'd wait for one which could be had at that price.

I would agree 1400-1500 is optimal for that grade but I wouldn't fault someone for picking up a good looking coin slightly higher "sight seen" through a local dealer.

 Sometimes, it's worth paying the little extra for a coin that you can hold in your hand at your local shop or show. This coin will only go higher through the years. There are many VG level coins that have nicer eye appeal than others. And yes, $1400-1500 sounds about right.  when you get it. swcoin.ecrater.com

Looking at a nice SEGS vg10 for 1420.00 shipped.
Dont normally like SEGS, but this coin has a nice sharp rim on the back and is as nice as any PCGS vg10 I have seen.
I had one dealer tell me that a vg10 goes for the midway point price wise between a vg 8 and fine 12
Anyone know if thats true ? If so, vg10 should go for 1625.00

SEGS gets it correct some times, now if you were talking about SGS I would say be sure its authentic and has no problems before bidding and if you can't tell by the photos do not bid. At least with SEGS its a Third Party that does the grading not someone sitting at their kitchen table or in their basement |

Bryan1315, your too funny about the kitchen table !
There are way too many off brand grading companies that are about as reliable
as a Chevy Vega !
Anyone have any info on my VG price point question posted earlier in this thread ?

A VG-10 should be priced closer to the VG price than the F-12 price. The others are correct that the 1400 - 1500 price area is appropriate.
As for SEGS, I do not like them at all, but I do have some of their coins in my inventory. As Bryan1315 said, they do get it right sometimes, and they are pretty good about weeding out fakes. If you like the looks of that SEGS VG-10, and the price is right, don't pass it over just because it is in a SEGS holder.

FWIW, I picked up this strong NGC graded VG-8 off of ebay for $1250 about 5-6 months ago...I think I got a lot of coin for the buck, but that price is certainly doable. I'm not sure how much the market has changed since then, but I imagine its fairly similar. Be sure to look for strong and full reverse rims in that grade, as that seems to be the weak point for lower grade 16ds.    |

ACE Mike , I am not sure I understood your last post of solid for the grade.
Could you clarify ?
Also, thanks for your advise. It's greatly appreciated.
