Help a newbie, I'm confused
why would anyone pay to slab this coin,?
why would heritage bother selling this coin ?( I can understand $10 comm, but I thought they dealt in higher end coins)
why would somone pay $11 for this coin?

Mistaking it for a 1916-D.

1. It could be easily mistaken for the 1916-D which would be worth several hundred dollars. As you can see, to the average person it looks like a "D":

2. Probably because $10 is better than $0.

3. I would be surprised if someone bothered to bid...but than again, it's a bit of a conversation piece...

haha. yea, that is what i saw also. more then one person thought
they had the big one!

now for the serious question.. with the mint mark so far gone is there
anyway to determine the coin without it? as in the key versus non
key with only knowing the date and with the mint mark very worn?

with grading fees, shipping fees , Heritage fees this seller realty fornicated himself

Lowball registry--If i interpret the numbers right- there are no p-1 1916-S's in pcgs plastic and only one in NGC. Even so, i do not know why someone would pay more than bullion for such a coin.

For this particular coin, I think NGC was able to determine this as an S mint because it were a D, the serif at the top left of the D would still be showing.
