1942/1 Dime
"kodakoda" wrote in message ... What do you thinks this is? http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-1-MERCURY-D...QQcmdZViewItem It's an out of focus photo of a 1942 Mercury dime with something maybe going on in the date area. It's an opportunity to gamble a lot of money on something that is probably just an ordinary 1942 Mercury dime. It's wishful thinking on the part of someone who doesn't know much about coins. It's an attempt by a dishonest seller to find a victim. Take your pick. James |

1942/1 Dime
The item description says it is a 1942/1. Does this mean that if it
turns out not to be one you get your money back? M. |

The seller does not discuss returns in the auction description. Nor is it customary for shipping charges (in this case $14) to be refunded. Other "protections" are in place, but they are cumbersome to use and take a long time for completion. As a buyer I like high probability that everything is in order. My estimate of that probability he .000001 YMMV James |

It's a either a genuine piece but cleaned or a struck counterfeit, of which hundreds were purported to have been made. If it turns out to be genuine, its easily worth the $500 paid for it even if cleaned. If counterfeit, well, that's another story entirely. Ira |

I thought the auction was going to end next week, and I was going to buy the coin and post the results. Oh well. Mike |
