<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1167021, member: 17987"]So I was surfing ebay this morning and found this:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1916-S-Buffalo-Nickel-NGC-MS65-Star-Rare-Full-Strike-%2F270740680482%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem3f0966ef22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1916-S-Buffalo-Nickel-NGC-MS65-Star-Rare-Full-Strike-%2F270740680482%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem3f0966ef22" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1916-S-Buffalo-Nickel-NGC-MS65-Star-Rare-Full-Strike-/270740680482?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f0966ef22</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now am I missing something or is that just a tad bit much of an asking price? I know some people are crazy for that rainbow toning and are willing to pay a premium, but seriously? Am I missing something about this nickel? I know the 1916-P doubled die mints are worth in the tens of thousands, but never heard of a 1916-S being worth more than a few hundred dollars. Is this seller just a little pompous to think he could get this much (or maybe hoping someone will think its a 1916-P Doubled Die) or am I completely missing something about this coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Okay again. Here's a 1944-S Dime. Worth maybe $50, maybe a little more since its graded by PCGS, but definitely not worth more than $100 IMO (which isn't worth much I admit) But nearly $1000? Is rainbow toning really worth that much to people or is this guy just ridiculous? </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1944-S-Mercury-Dime-PCGS-MS67-Radical-Rainbow-Toned-/270740808893?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f0968e4bd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1944-S-Mercury-Dime-PCGS-MS67-Radical-Rainbow-Toned-/270740808893?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f0968e4bd" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1944-S-Mercury-Dime-PCGS-MS67-Radical-Rainbow-Toned-/270740808893?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f0968e4bd</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
