<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 2009064, member: 8797&quot;]Hi everyone. I gave a free appraisal yesterday. It took 2.5 hours, and when I was done the lady said she had called a coin shop - about a two hour drive one way for her - and was told that at that shop the appraisal was only free if you sell him the coins. If you did not sell him the coins, he charges $30/ half hour. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> That shop is on the CoinTalk directory as well....</p><p><br /></p><p>The lady said she had already sold her old gold ($2.5 Indians) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> to a man who was after the rest (now in front of me) and she felt like she was losing on the deal. After setting up the meeting she told that man that she was having an appraisal done. She told me he paused awhile, then told her he would pay whatever it was appraised for. :/ Hm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, after all was said and done, in appreciation for the expense I saved her and potential loss I may have saved her she gave me a gift of these two Mercury dimes. The first one is nice and I just want to show it off as the very nice gift it is. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361559[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361558[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is the purpose of this thread. It is a worn 1936 dime that on its face seems uninteresting.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361560[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Flip it over and there is this raised area on the reverse. To top it off, the thing weighs under, at 2.35g as opposed to 2.5.&nbsp; I would have expected it to be overweight... and the raised area appears to be as well worn as the rest of the coin. Note there is no corresponding dent in the obverse. What is this?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361561[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361562[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
