If you read you'll notice it is a "Delaware" Mercury. That's what makes it so rare!

It is near mint in one sense. The seller is in NY and the Philly mint is just a few hundred miles away...

WOW! With acute grading skills such as his, I'm surprised he wasn't picked up by ACG!

Whenever I see an auction like this, I like to see what else the seller has up for the bidders delight. In this instance I was a bit disappointed, but usually it's a gold mine of laughs.

The D is for Delaware huh? I always thought it stood for Detroit.

Outhaul

Actually, the "D" stands for "Dimitrius", the engraver of the Merc

Every once in a great while I like to bait a seller like this and
email him and get his hopes up like I am naive. They deserve it.


I remember when an out of town stock broker kept calling me
in the evenings bugging me to send him $5K so he could invest
for me and make me millions. No matter what I said he wouldn't
take no for an answer. I told him I don't even know you and he
responded "I don't know you either". That was a sales tactic I
guess to comfort me. So I played along and told him I would have
to ask my wife if it was ok to send the money to him but she was
out shopping. He called back early the next evening. I told him
she said no. He asked me who wore the pants in the family. I
told him she does. He cussed me out and hung up on me. Thank
goodness. Just like this eBay seller he deserved it.

Thats a beauty and a bargain at only 300! Feedback rating of 5 too.

LOL! He forgot to mention that it's unique. The Delaware mint struck only that one coin.

Well, at least he's lowered the price to a bargain-basement $100!
