<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2261205, member: 74863&quot;]Years ago I dealt with a local coin dealer for years. The owners and I even became friends. One day their shop caught on fire. They basically lost everything, along with several other businesses. When they were allowed back into what was left, they sifted through the rubble. One of the items they found was a Mercury Dime, 1921-D. Back then it was worth about $75.00 in XF. The face of the coin was melted beyond recognition. You could still see the reverse just fine, no damage except for a little soot that washed off with water, the base of the neck and the date. They sold it for $15.00 to a well know customer. Silver was about $9.00 an ounce. What does that tell you about the value of this coin? I&#039;d said a fair price would be $50.00-$75.00, a lot more that melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
