    I just got eighteen silver mercury dimes.

    x6 1917
    x1 1918
    x3 1920
    x1 1923
    x1 1925
    x4 1926
    x2 1927

    The price? A hefty $12. $12 for each? NO, I got 18 mercury dimes for $12!!!

    The story.
    On eBay.com, I was looking for the dimes, looked at what was ending soonest and saw 18 mercury dimes. The whole title and description were in french, and being bilingual (English, and French) I understood what was going on. I was so surprised at the low price, but I'm presuming the price was so low because not too many people fully understood what he was saying. So, in the end I bid at the last 20 seconds and won the auction! $12 with shipping was the final price. I am ELATED...so happy...

    Oh, and they look to be in VG-VF condition.

    :)

    Sweet deal, I hope the shipping from France is not too much?

    Yes, let's hope the shipping isn't like those Chinese gold sets that offer the set itself at $3.00 but charge $999 for shipping... heh...

    You definitely had the bilingual advantage there... oui oui! C'est manifique!

    That's a great deal. Congratulations. I don't see any mintmarks listed. You could have an even better deal than you think.

    And yeah, maybe there are some minmarks. Also, just the silver value is $17 or $18!

    I'll put pics up, but I presume it will take about or more than a couple of weeks for them to come.

    Hopefully they're real and not Chinese fakes.
