[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 14449, member: 57463"]First of all, a genuine 1916-D Mercury Dime in Good prices at about $500 retail if it has no problems, such as cleaning, nicks, etc. There is a difference between retail and wholesale and between bid and ask, but the 1916-D Mercury is a key coin in a popular serioes and if it is genuine and without problems, $300 is an acceptable dealer-to-dealer price. As for the coin being genuine, according to the Professional Coin Grading Service -- speaking with only a little sarcasm -- there were 250,000 of those coins made and about half a million in collections. How would your friend know a genuine coin versus a fake? Did the dealer say why he thought it was fake? "The Mint mark is boxy and squared off.
