I have this coin that I would like to sell. Purchased it in 1987 through the Numismatic Investments of New England. Can anyone help me to establish today's value as gold and silver is at an all time high. Have documentation available to authenticate its rating. Many thanks.
A picture is worth a thousand words. please post decent front(obverse) 7 back(reverse) pics, thanks & welcome to cointalk!
The price of silver (which is now about 25% less than it was a few weeks ago) has nothing to do with the price of this coin. If graded a true PR-65 by a legimate TPG, it could be worth close to $200; however, I know nothing of the now defunct "Numismatic Investments of New England" or their grading standards. The coin would have to be submitted to a recognized TPG such as NGC or PCGS. Here's an example for sale on eBay (with a BIN under $200): http://www.ebay.com/itm/1942-10C-PC...08?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item439afe042c
Could we simplify this estimate... Since I do not have a camera to provide this detail. Let's just say...if three qualified coin specialist all agreed that this 1942 Mercury dime was graded at Proof-65...what might a seller expect to receive for this coin at today's prices? Many thanks for your interest...
Search eBay's completed listings or use jloring's post - 30% for a reasonable expectation. Yes, a top tier slab adds that much piece of mind(not value) for most buyers.
The 1942 had the highest mintage proof Mercury dime. That holds back the value a bit. They bring a little under $200 in a good holder. At the same time the value has a lot to do with the looks of the coin. Mercury proofs with great color can bring some really crazy prices. Ugly hairlined coins will bring lower prices. Proofs are tough to grade or value from images but it helps folks narrow it down a bit. Welcome to the forum. You came to a great place to get good answers.
