<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3686211, member: 101855&quot;]You had better know if the 1916-D Mercury Dime you are buying raw is genuine. According to the Grey Sheet, the coin is worth $685 in Good. How much of discount you get because you are buying raw is a good question. People don&#039;t give good coins away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s say it&#039;s 20% off. That would be about $550. If you get one with a glued on mint mark, that piece is worth $1 melt. If you get a Chinese counterfeit that is made out of &quot;Chinese silver&quot; (some sort of alloy that resembles toned silver), you got nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are an expert who can spot counterfeits, go ahead. But be advised that part of the $135 you save on the purchase will be eaten up with postage both ways and a grading fee.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t sound like a great deal to me, unless you are 100% certain that what you bought it genuine. Even then the savings are not that great.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
