Re: Hypothetical #2 - 1916-D Dime
its a double edge sword. cause remember to the gold coin how most probably would tell you nothing they can do since they bought it as it and then sold it to you . even if it was true that the gold coins didnt match up. case in point i would have to say in both cases you pay for what you get. in this case the dealer had the… -
Re: Hypothetical #2 - 1916-D Dime
who deserves this cash? the answer is the person who sold the 2 coins to the dealer, or perhaps the person before him. the dealer sure doesnt deserve the cut, and neither do you. what would i do? i'd go to the dealer and ask if he knew who sold it. i'd try and track him down at the show, and offer him one coin for half the… -
Hypothetical #2 - 1916-D Dime
You're at a coin show talking to a respectable coin dealer that you've just met. Somebody walks up to his table and offers his a nice uncirculated 1916-D Dime in a Capital Plastics holder. They haggle over the price, he buys it for 15K CASH, and the seller walks away. You ask to see the coin and ask for a price. He quotes… -

<< <i>If the dealer would pay the original seller for the second coin, then I would say return it.

<< <i>I doubt that two 1916-D Mercury dimes would ever come out of a capital plastic holder as described by Andy's more-than-hypothetical hypothetical.

Re: Hypothetical #2 - 1916-D Dime
First I would track down the original seller no matter how long or how much it cost. Then I would give her $15,000 minus my time and costs. Then I would give the dealer $3,000 minus my time and costs. Then I would drink a beer. Then I would submit the coins to NGC. Then cross them to PCGS. (after 4 submissions) Then I… -

Not only do I believe your story, Mr. Hall, that is exactly how I heard it (albeit with less details.) Just because someone is a nice and sweet little old lady or gent doesn't mean they aren't also entirely dishonest. -

Re: Hypothetical #2 - 1916-D Dime
With MY luck, the obverse dime would be a 16-P, and the reverse dime a 17-D
