Opinions on this Merc please.

I bought this for $1.50 when I was about 10 years old. The dealer had labelled it "Fine. Light Damage"

I don't really see any damage. So what are your opinions on it?

Thanks.

I don't see any damage either...

 

The only thing I see is a rim ding and what might be a scratch under the toning on the upper left on the reverse, stright under the s in states, but nothing bad for the grade. Looks "fine" to me.

 

looks like a fine

The coin photo looks like a fine. The only minor damage I can see in the photo is that the D mint mark was removed after the coin left the mint.

I see nothing wrong with the coin in the photos.

Is it bent, perhaps?

 

Wow, I never would have noticed that. I can barely see it with my 5X magnifying glass. But you're right. Apparently someone did scratch a triangle into it.

 

How old are you ?

 

Great eye GD.....

 

I was asking adaml just because I usually find merc's for $1.20 that I buy as junk silver that look between good and xf...
I'm thinking 1.50 is alot even if adam is 15.
Does anyone else agree?
Right of the bat a ten yr old is going to get taken buying ice cream.

 

I'm 25. The 1916 lists at $7.00 in fine in the Redbook. I know Redbook prices are on the high side though. Still, $1.50 is "alot"? Thats a 30 cents difference. I've got 50 times that in my couch cushions right now, lol.

 

a lot alot & whatevr bro

Does the Red Book have a special pricing on
on "slightly damaged"?

But hey who might get lucky & find $10 merc in your sofa along with the rest of your change you never know, rite.

 

Ya never know

 

Wow, just wow, lol. :thumb: His secret everyone? (He's really superman. )

Phoenix

 

Or sometimes you just get lucky, like me. That jumped out at me as well and I don't feel like I know much about coins at all.

 

Isn't that a rotated die, not much, as well as the triangle mark?

 

maybe it's a mercury dime used by the mason's?
