<p>[QUOTE="bob_day, post: 1695617, member: 48560"]Thanks very much to everyone who replied to my post. With the reassurance I received here, but still with some trepidation I bought the coin. It seems to be just fine. The coin I received was the one pictured, and despite not being shown in a slab, it did, in fact, come in a PCGS holder that is genuine, as far as I can determine from "how to tell blogs" on the internet. As "Collect99" suggested, I checked the slab ID# and the description on PCGS's website matched the one on the holder. My "Mercury" dime collection is now complete! I'm not too worried about the genuineness of the rest of the coins because they are all less valuable than the 1916-D and because I collected them over 55 years ago when faking coins was probably a lot less common. Oh -- I should mention, I bought the coin at PQ Dollars, which I would highly recommend. Steve Twitty there was very personable, professional, and easy to contact and speak with on the phone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
