<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 5299317, member: 13650&quot;]This should be a very interesting thread.&nbsp;&nbsp; A very unique toned mercury dime sold on the bay tonight that was graded MS-67+*(star) with it being the only one possessing that grade by NGC.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been watching it all week along with 23 other people.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nobody bid on it all week.&nbsp; I think because nobody was sure what to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It was a 1945.&nbsp; Entire obverse had a rose gold, champagne color too it with deep luster.&nbsp;&nbsp; Reverse had a ring of the same toning and was blast white in the middle.&nbsp;&nbsp; Can see it here:</p><p>&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1945-10c-NGC-MS-67-STAR-SUPERB-POP-1-MERCURY-DIME-COLOR-COIN-/233824473041?nma=true&amp;si=IebM0Ji1EKGFd2FaGRVqOH0y60w%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1945-10c-NGC-MS-67-STAR-SUPERB-POP-1-MERCURY-DIME-COLOR-COIN-/233824473041?nma=true&amp;si=IebM0Ji1EKGFd2FaGRVqOH0y60w%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1945-10c-NGC-MS-67-STAR-SUPERB-POP-1-MERCURY-DIME-COLOR-COIN-/233824473041?nma=true&amp;si=IebM0Ji1EKGFd2FaGRVqOH0y60w%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; 1945s are relatively common in MS-67 and price guide lists them at $75.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s only been 10 given a MS-68 and price guide puts them at $1400.&nbsp; &nbsp; (How or why this coin wasn&#039;t a MS-68, I do not know.)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; How do you value a coin like this?&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller had it listed at 299.&nbsp; &nbsp; At 11 seconds there were no bids so I put in $350 hoping to cover anyone&#039;s last second bid.&nbsp; (I didn&#039;t NEED it for my registry but it was very attractive and I would&#039;ve liked to have it.)&nbsp; &nbsp; At 3 seconds somebody outbid me with the second bid.&nbsp; If I hadn&#039;t bid they would&#039;ve gotten it for $300.&nbsp; &nbsp; Maybe it was somebody here?&nbsp; &nbsp; I just wasn&#039;t sure how to value it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I thought I was going to steal it but it only takes one other person that has to have it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe it was worth much more.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I guess at some point if you take away NGCs opinion it&#039;s just another very nice toned merc that they gave a star too.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve sent a lot of coins their way that I thought deserved stars and they never give one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
