Message:: [QUOTE="mr merc, post: 335470, member: 11694"]Thank you everyone. I bought the coin as a F-VF and paid $40 plus $5 shipping. The 26-S is usually found weakly struck no matter what condition. I didn't like that obvious nick on the obverse. I love the reverse design on the mercury dime and that's why I started collecting them years ago. This one was just a tad better than the best one I had in my collection. VF-30 to EF are quite pricey. There's a lot of people on eBay selling overgraded 26-S mercs, here's an example of a cleaned one, compare the reverse of this coin with mine, then compare the price! <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2803353&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1926-S-Mercury-Dime-Key-Date-EF_W0QQitemZ360023737320QQihZ023QQcategoryZ41091QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2803353&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1926-S-Mercury-Dime-Key-Date-EF_W0QQitemZ360023737320QQihZ023QQcategoryZ41091QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1926-S-Mercury-Dime-Key-Date-EF_W0QQitemZ360023737320QQihZ023QQcategoryZ41091QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>[/QUOTE]
