[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 553194, member: 17753"]I do a few things if I'm seriously considering a purchase that's more than a trivial amount of cash: 1. I look at ValleyCoins, see what price they have. I see a 1943-S ranges from MS-63 $15 to MS-65 $25 2. I look at Numismedia (which I think I heard are a bit on the low side) -- I see there that MS-61 is $10, MS-63 is $16, and MS-65 is $29 3. I look at "completed sales" on eBay, and see what they sold for. The problem with this strategy in your case, however, is that you really don't know the MS-grade . . . so, given the prices I just mentioned, assuming it is at least, say, MS-62 -- you might be getting a bargain or you might be overpaying! So, the above is not much help in your particular case, but might be of help in the future for you (or someone else) I should note something else . . . I know next-to-nothing about Mercs! ;)[/QUOTE]
