<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3266789, member: 27832&quot;]NGC&#039;s guide to what the coin is &quot;worth&quot; is self-serving, or at least dealer-serving. It provides an opportunity for a dealer to say &quot;look, I&#039;m offering this at more than 20% off its <i>real value</i>!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you turn around and try to sell the identical coin to a dealer, you&#039;ll probably be lucky to get $800.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1909-S VDB and the 1916-D Mercury dime are two of the most <i>popular</i> and <i>famous</i> coins in the US hobby, so they&#039;ve done well over time. But &quot;investment&quot;? No way.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you <i>really</i> want a long-term investment, buy a mutual fund or a dividend stock. And don&#039;t panic-sell it the next time there&#039;s a 20% correction. A few decades down the road, you&#039;ll be A LOT further ahead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
