<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 789073, member: 13016&quot;]I&#039;m not saying I&#039;d list it on eBay personally (I wouldn&#039;t), but I take your comment to mean that you consider that particular tactic sleazy. And, since I first mentioned it, I&#039;m not sure I care for your inference.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is nothing ethically wrong with posting that coin on eBay as an unknown mintmark. As long as the pictures are not intentionally deceitful, and as long as they&#039;re not tampered with, every potentially bidder will have as complete of an information set as possible, and all potential bidders will share the same set of information. That is not against numismatic ethics. For all you know, there is some super-student of Mercury dime dies out there who knows for certain this is a 1916-D, and can prove it, and who will pick up the coin for a song. On the other hand, if all buyers are reasonable (and it&#039;s their own responsibility to be), then the coin will bring only the silver value, nothing more. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From an ethical standpoint, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my suggestion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
