Unbelievable,40¢ coin.Al

It'll be interesting if some idiot actually buys it. I agree with the .40c but make him throw in free shipping.

Lokk at his feedback and what he's bought.He can't believe it is "PR or MS" anything.

If someone does fall for the coin, it will be the type of person who buys stuff from those TV coin shows. You know--the uninformed.

Just wrote him the following email...



<< <i>I am sorry to inform you that the above coin is a circulated common date business strike and not a proof or even mint state. I believe that you are making an honest mistake and wanted to take the time to inform you. The coin you have is about very fine, and in that condition is worth about 3 to 4 times face value...or 30 to 40 cents for the silver content.

You can easily compare your coin to any of the probably hundreds of mint state coins on ebay, by going to the search option typing in either pcgs or ngc (grading services) along with mercury dime, you will see perhaps hundreds of coins that are in mint state condition. As well as proof as well.

I hope you did not pay much for the coin, as I do not like anyone being taken advantage of.

I also would like to invite you to the collectors universe web chat forum at www.cu.com then find the link to the message boards. New and old collectors alike have learned a many vast amount of info to help along their search.

thank you for your time and happy hunting

He has a 45-S micro S and says with the intrument he uses to view his coins it is a MS64.

I wish I had an instrument to view coins that could add 40-50 points

You'll notice the seller did the right thing and ended the auction.

He wrote me this response...




<< <i>MORRIS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, IT IS MY MISTAKE THAT I HAVE USED THE WRONG INFORMATION I TRIED TO GATHER AND IN NO WAY WAS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYONE. I AM NOT A COIN DEALER NOR HAVE I DONE THIS BEFORE. THE COINS ARE CIRCULATED AND ARE SOME DIRTY BUT NOT WORN AS THEY SHOW BUT I AM MISREADING THE WAY THEY SHOULD GRADE.
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL AND THE WAY YOU HANDLED YOURSELF FOR NOT ALL THE MAIL I HAVE RECIEVED WAS THAT KIND.

GOD'S SPEED,

He deserves at least our admiration and appreciation for his humility and admitting he made a mistake...I think we could all learn a valuable lesson.
