For the asking price you would think he'd have better pics of the reverse. Oh, it's slabbed so it must be FSB. http://cgi.ebay.com/1925-D-MERCURY-DIME-VERY-RARE-FULL-SPLIT-BANDS-GEM-BU_W0QQitemZ270208280391QQihZ017QQcategoryZ41091QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem   02-09-2008, 08:27 AM   #2 (permalink) carl1949 Senior Member     Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 189 I wouldn't even consider a coin like that. With such poor pics, makes you wonder what he's hiding!   02-09-2008, 09:15 AM   #3 (permalink) mr merc Senior Member     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 193 But he's got 100% feedback and it's in a slab! Seriously you'd have to be a total idiot to buy this coin.   02-09-2008, 10:05 AM   #4 (permalink) Phoenix21 *The King Of Jokes*     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: PA Posts: 8,846 My Mood: Is it just me, or does most of his coins look cleaned? Looks unfortunatly like another self slabber, but I could be wrong.

It's just in a holder. Calling it slabbed would be like calling a coin in a 2x2 slabbed. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   02-09-2008, 11:55 AM   #7 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 4,760 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kanga It's not slabbed.

How anyone could tell if it is truly FB is the most suspect issue about this sale. It seems to me you would be better served to spend that kind of money on a coin that you can look at "in hand" with you own loop. Take that kind of money to a show or to a creditable dealer for your own sanity. Love the Merc!!!
