<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1311344, member: 26302"]Like Doug, I would go with the TPG, (or any experienced dealer/collector), who has the coin in hand versus someone looking at a photo. Being able to see 30 angles of the coin versus 1 is always superior. Without perfect evidence from a photo I would never be so bold as to second guess someone who has seen a coin in hand. Photos have huge, distinct, disadvantages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, the OP coin clearly has a mintmark, and since P was not ever on a mercury dime, I will say in this case it is an error. If PCGS had said its an S versus a D I would have been more hesitant to second guess them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
