16-D Merc

I'm thinking about getting this coin for my dime album, but I'm a little worried that the reverse might actually be a FR-2 instead of the AG-3 on the holder. Thoughts?

It looks acceptable to me for the grade, but I would save up for a slightly nicer coin if I were you. For a couple of hundred more, you might be able to snag a good example (Numismedia FMV is around $800).

It appears to be a slightly better-than-average AG from those images.

totally agree with james!!

 

it does look good with decent dove grey surfaces and really good eye appeal but i think the coin is too worn for my taste and i would wait and spend a few hundred more and get one in a ngc/pcgs holder that is higher graded and has full solid rims on both sides

 

but i must say it does look good so i guess i am on the fence about the coin i could go either way so based on this it is a pass for me

 

these are ALWAYS available so wait until something better with full rims and pcgs/ngc graded comes along

 

my view-----the current market suggests these coins will become less expensive into 2012 and thru 2013

 

 

unfortunately for the album inclusion i would never break the coin out of its holder as holder/authentication is extremely important in resale so i feel you still got the coin; album or not

It looks like a very solid AG-3 to me. But I always try to encouage collectors to buy the best they can afford. A full rim Good is not that much more expensive.
