<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 2552043, member: 29452"]Well, sometimes, and I stress SOMETIMES, dealers make it difficult to collect. I should really start a separate thread on this topic. Yesterday I had a dealer tell me, whom I know rather well, that my 1940 proof Mercury Dime I busted out of an old ANACS PF62 holder, was in reality a highly polished business strike. When I showed him the inside holder the coin was in with the label, he accused me of lying! I then told him, if what he said is true, then TPG's have been slabbing crap for a long time now. How many other misindentified coins are out there? I don't know why he would want it. It's a details coin my friend is letting me hang on to. I have not decided if I want to buy it yet. So after the CT opinions I took it to my only local guy I trust and he tells me this! Here is the coin in question. He also said "it looks rusted." "Just a highly polished regular Mercury." He said the rims were not squared, they are round. Really? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]548450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]548451[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
