1/10 oz. Mercs

[numisport]

I could have bought a tenth ounce Mercury on April 21st. NOT. I guess they sold out in an hour. But somehow companies like Modern Coin Mart bought them. So now I can get one for 339.00. Oh wait I thought they would be under 200.00 from the mint. I guess I'm mixed up.

If I'm not mistaken, those went for $205 from the mint. If you don't have one now, you'll have to deal with the flippers.

So I would have been limited to 10 but wholesalers could probably purchase 10 for every employee and family member working there likely cornering the market in less than one hour. I guess I've seen it before. And I consider myself lucky to purchase reverse proof silver Eagles direct couple years ago.

I have seen many on EBay for less than your $339 figure.

Have a little patience and I suspect you will be able to buy one for less than the examples used in this thread.

But think of what they would be selling with if they were heavily advertised by Robin Leach with his thick British accent.

Have crooks begun gold plating 1916 dimes and selling them as the 2016 gold version?

If crooks are going to gold plate MS 1916 dimes, can I get a few before you do that.

I realize that it is a competitive world we live in. But I feel like I'm being out bid in an auction by speculators. Last Heritage auction I was following, some proof cents on my watch list ended up being offered by owner. In other words I could have been outbid by someone who just buys these coins to resell. Boy was I dumb. I think I will stick with dealer specialists where I pay top dollar but don't risk ending up with junk.
