The pictures I see on ebay look like copies of the mints pictures which, despite claims to the contrary, look suspiciously like "artists renditions". I don't remember seeing any mention of these being available at the gift shops. I'm searching now for that mention.
I just saw a couple of the gold Mercury things on ebay........OMG! They look awful. Like they were designed by a 3rd grader with problems. Doesn't even look like the Mercury Dime.
I have absolutely no use for one of those things.
Dimeman, methinks thee doth protest too much!
I know you'll have to have one. I'm not going to let you beat me up on price.
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
Dimeman was curious about the new gold dime. Could you imagine if he actually LOVED what he saw!! What would he have said then? Who thinks he would have told us all that he recognized the error of his ways and needs to buy a gold dime for his collection? Wondercoin

Were these available at Mint gift shops? That would be the only way an ebay seller would have any in hand.
You realize the DimeMan is not gonna let this drop. This is the line in the sand for him.

No, not in shops.
I think that the Mint had one or more on display in Balto. If so, that would explain any actual pics.

I knew it would happen.
The solution is simple Mitch and others: we all chip in and buy one for him.
That would be great. I could then sell it for bullion (which is all it is) and buy a nice Bust Dime (an actual coin) for my Dime collection.
So please do.......actually just send me the money you would spend on the gold thingy......then I will have more than I can sell it for.
Who couldn't appreciate seeing this in a sigline ?

You are such a card.
But, once you get a taste of true perfection, the VG stuff doesn't look the same.

Looks like the highest price realized on eBay for a PCGS FS 70 is $599 a couple of times.

Boy, I could buy some nice dimes for my collection with that 600 bucks.....and have something!
Yup; ten cents.
So, you are saying that a Capped Bust Dime in PCGS55 is worth 10 cents???
