<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman_Ben, post: 632403, member: 9923&quot;]If it were authentic, the seller would have paid at least $300-$400 for it.&nbsp; I think the seller who sold the dime to the person who was selling it on ebay was duped into buying a counterfeit coin and the person selling it on ebay was deceived by the person he bought it from.&nbsp; The coin looked like it was in fair condition, the next grade up is AG-3, which a real 1916-D mercury dime sells for $900.&nbsp; Another thing, silver coins in good to fair condition don&#039;t tarnish as they wear down, any tarnish it would have had would have warn away with the coins, so it would have had more of a grey tone with little, if any detail, and on top of that, as I was looking at the metal where the holes are, and it seems to be shreading alittle too much for it to be a silver coin, so because of that, the price the seller who was selling the coin on ebay purchased it for, and good reference about the seller, the only conclusion I can come to is that the coin was made of lead, the seller who sold the coin to the person who sold it on ebay is a snake, and the person selling it on ebay is a novice.&nbsp; I know that sounds harsh, but if you want me to prove my claim that the coin is made of lead, I&#039;ll take the picture of the coin from ebay, post it here and put it side by side with a 1923 merc in about good to fair condition to show you what a coin in that condition really looks like.&nbsp; You will see that it is much brighter than a coin made of lead, even in such terrible condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
