<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kountryken, post: 24757568, member: 89798&quot;]Yes, I have a regret that I think about quite often. It was in the early 1970&#039;s. I was at a very small local pawn shop that I had bought and traded with, but mostly Lincoln wheat cents. He had an almost complete set of Mercury Dimes. It was only missing 3 or 4 coins. He sold it to me for $15.00. Of course, the 1916-D was one of the missing. He then told me that he had 5 safety deposit boxes at the bank, full of old coins he had saved during his younger days, and that He had a 1916-D in one of them. Later, he brought the coin in to show me. It was at least XF or AU? He offered it to me for $95.00. My wife couldn&#039;t see trading $95 for a dime. If I would have bought it, it would have been very cold in my house for a while. So, I didn&#039;t buy it. Wish I would have, now. We divorced in 1977, and I would have had a very nice 1916-D Mercury Dime![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
