Not my coin, although I was an underbidder. Seems like its cleaned from the photos but higher grade than the typical raw 1916D you see these a days. What grade do you think its at? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1916-d-mercury-dime-/164178581391?hash=item2639ce578f%3Ag%3AqNQAAOSwnQ5eqQVV&nma=true&si=hm%252BqievhPQTRz4cX%252FHIYOSM068o%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
$1000 for one of the most highly counterfeited coins in existence, on the basis of tiny out-of-focus photos? Sounds like a job for eBay Buyer Protection! I'm at BS details.
If I had that coin I wouldn't sell it on eBay with those photos and no TPG certification. I think it is bogus.
Just think of how much stuff is being sold and put into collections by folks that don't know what they are buying. It may be many years before they learn the truth.
I remember reading quite a few years ago that the number of Mercury dime collections containing a 1916-D greatly outnumbers the 1916-D's mintage. Fake 1916-D's are anything but new.
Yeah I've heard the same, more fake 16D than real. That was even before the Chinese counterfeits started flooding the markets 10 years ago.
