- Hey Mercury Dimes!
In a recent Sunday afternoon eBay auction, I was fortunate to have cherrypicked this 16D, which appears to be VG10/F12 level preservation, hiding in a G6 holder. Did PCGS fall asleep at the wheel with this one!? Surprised the owner didn’t resubmit themselves.
One of the most heralded key dates in 20th century numismatics undergraded by at least 2 grades (if not 3)?!
I’m considering crossover to CACG, specifying a minimum grade of VG10. But what do you all think about sticker submission instead? Theoretically, this would be an easy gold sticker, no? Will future value hold better for gold-stickered G6 or accurately graded VG10 or F12?
Third and fourth pic are (typical) CAC-stickered (green) PCGS G6 specimens for reference.

- Samthecoinman thanks for checking in! I’m finally in the process of getting my collection ready to send out. I’m looking to have a professional numismatist review for likely CAC candidates. Hopefully will have this coin in front of CAC by end of January or so.[Samthecoinman] thanks for checking in! I’m finally in the process of getting my collection ready to send out.

- Sorry folks, I’ve been slow to resubmit. I’ve recently been in touch with CACG, trying to clarify some of their pricing. They of course want to charge separate S&H for “standard”, “economy”, and “variety attribution”. For the time being, here is a CACG 1916-D F12 currently for sale at Coast to Coast Coins. Looks like very consistent wear compared to my PCGS “G6”.Sorry folks, I’ve been slow to resubmit. I’ve recently been in touch with CACG, trying to clarify some of their pricing.

- pcgsregistrycollector good suggestion but since it appears to be undergraded by more than one grade point, I’m thinking a new grade of VG10 or F12 could be more valuable than a gold stickered G6.[pcgsregistrycollector] good suggestion but since it appears to be undergraded by more than one grade point, I’m thinking a new grade of VG10 or F12 could be more valuable than a gold stickered G6.

- Perhaps the rim weakness accounted for the grade, but I agree that most of the coin has enough detail for vg. Coins don't wear uniformly.Perhaps the rim weakness accounted for the grade, but I agree that most of the coin has enough detail for vg. Coins don't wear uniformly.

- Here are the results from PCGS of a handful of coins I consigned raw to GreatCollections Coin Auctions. These are currently listed, ending April 20th.
I guess three out of five isn't terrible. The 24-S was around where I thought, AU53. I love that crusty antique patina and those spots of aquamarine, two on the obverse, one on the reverse, which I believe are copper carbonate (i.e., verdigris; since of course U.S. coin silver is 10% Cu). I think it adds an interesting character. If this coin was a 58, I'd likely hold onto it, but its luster is a bit limited for my taste at 53. Nice original looking coin.
On the flip side...I purchased both 27-S specimens early July 2022 on eBay, they were both dipped an unnaturally bright white. At some point, I put them on a shelf behind my natural gas water heater and furnace. It was an experiment to see what "post dip toning" would look like. It's such a rare date that I went ahead with the purchase/experiment, but I much prefer naturally toned specimens. I'm thrilled the one achieved AU58!

#numismatics #numismatists #mercurydimes #coinauctions #coingrading #pcgs0 Comments 0 Shares 503 Views - Brilliant CAC-Approved overdate! This piece is in auction now at DLRC!Brilliant CAC-Approved overdate! This piece is in auction now at DLRC!DLRC September 17th Auction Highlight!
A key date 1942/1-D 10C NGC/CAC MS64FB! An exceedingly choice example of this popular overdate variety! The Denver Mint 42/1 is scarcer overall than its Philadelphia counterpart and the under digit is not as bold. That is likely the reason why the Philadelphia Mint overdate was discovered in 1943, while the 42/1-D was not discovered until the early 1960s. Satiny, softly frosted surfaces are bathed in a pale champagne iridescence on both sides. Crisply defined throughout, the overall eye appeal is incredible!

- I just purchased a 1945 PCGS AU 58 micro s FS-512 and my question is, PCGS definition for FS is First Strike is the designation PCGS gives to coins they or a PCGS approved depository receive within the first 30 days of the coins release date. Does that mean they received it in 1945 and if so wouldn't you think it would have a higher grade than AU and a Full Band designation? Probably a dumb question but Iam new to coin collecting.

- Anyone aware of a DDO (and maybe DDR) 1930 variety? I’ve had this for a while but haven’t seen or heard of any others. The date is obvious, but the rest of the obverse has slight doubling too, and I think the reverse (more subtle, hard to see). What exactly do I have? Thanks!Anyone aware of a DDO (and maybe DDR) 1930 variety? I’ve had this for a while but haven’t seen or heard of any others.
