Comparison between Original Mercury Dime and Gold Mercury Dime
350716
If you buy this Mercury Gold coin, make sure it's PCGS or NGC certified.

The pictures i've included is a perfect SP70 PCGS.  I don't even see a tiny dust scratch.  I give this a 4/5 star because the details on the liberty head isn't as nice as the original dime.(the feathers above the ear is very flat and soft)  There is no 'Full Band' on the reverse side.  It wouldn't have been difficult to separate the band on the column to make it Full Band.  It would be nice if they were both the same exact size/dimensions, but that would make it around 1/8th of an Ounce.  Overall, i'm a little disappointed that the Liberty Head isn't an exact replica but I'm very satisfied with the nice appearance on both sides.

Good quality product, but be aware that the dies are different than the Gold Star Press machine, although this unit looks identical to our Gold Star press..  So this was practically unusable for us.

$281,00 plus shipping.  Is this a joke or made of solid gold

I love it.  The detail on mine is better than in the product ad, or the customer posted photos. I didn't get one of the fakes. Mine came from a USA shipper, and is black on both sides like picture.  I like Northwest Territorial Mint coins.

The "yellow" part of the gold is pretty cheap looking.  You get what you pay for (it wasn't much).  No one would ever confuse this with "the real thing."

Good stuff.  Between the size of a nickel and a dime.  Just enough weight to make a satisfying clink.  Mine were a mix of gold, silver, and something that looks like bronze.  I was very happy with these.  They look real enough from a distance, and upon close inspection they bear no distinguishing mark that makes them obviously fake or out of a certain time period.  This ambiguity might not work for some, but I like it better than coins saying 1701 or Hispania. They lend themselves to more uses.  Like many real coins, they are on the smaller side, but that means that my batch of 200 fit easily in two hands.  I wish I had more of these, but I don't think I'll spend another $40.

I see people complain about the fact that the description says copper plated with 999 gold and then finding a magnet sticks to the coin.  OK, that's true, but I have to assume they are plating steel with copper and then gold...  Regardless, this is a beautiful coin and it's only 8 bucks!  What do you expect for that price???  WTF?

The shirt is slightly smaller than I anticipated (in fabric allowance).

Although it's comparable to Hanes' Beefy T, I felt the Gildan was slightly thinner (to be fair, it is 6oz vs Hanes' 6.1oz). You can check by holding up the shirt to a light and seeing how much passes through. Obviously, use the same color shirt for both experiments.

Compared to fit vs the Hanes' Beefy T, the Hanes' shirt is slightly more comfortable. I honestly don't think the .1oz makes any significant difference, but it does sit differently on the body. I prefer the Hanes' shirt, but it doesn't make sense to return this Gildan which is available for only $2.95.

what is the different between gold and greyish. I see there are two price for two model. Is is because gold has window 10 so it is more expensive?

This is the second Mont Blanc that I have owned.  I am replacing one that I've had for 15 years, but lost.  No doubt that it is an authentic Mont Blanc THAT THEY ARE PRODUCING NOW.  Mont Blanc has totally cheaped out on the most important aspect/precision of their design, the brass workings.  It still functions adequately, but so does a Zebra pen, with a 97% reduction in price.  It does feel noticeably lighter than my previous pen; and THIS ONE is the "Le Grand" version, which is a "wide body" version of the original.  The point (and prestige) of investing in a Mont Blanc is to invest in superior workmanship and design.  I own a dozen or so Fisher space pens that have more integral workmanship than this newest version of Mont Blanc.

Having said this, I will say that the aesthetics are identical.  Looks exactly like my old pen, but wider.  But, this is the last time that I will buy one for myself and especially as a gift.  If this had cost $30 with the above histrionics in place, I'd probably just shrug it off.  But not at this price point.

The big improvement in this value/price guide over previous years is the authors have GRAPHED changes in value over more than a decade for a key date of each type american coin (indian penny, 1916D mercury dime, buffalo nickel, etc) to give us this most disappointing news:  coin prices peaked in 2007-2008 and have mostly gone down since.  The 1916-D is an exception.  Otherwise, it's A good concise compendium of coin values of the 3 countries so well worth its price.

Having ordered the same slipper in a 9S earlier this year and wanting another pair, this time that size was not available on the drop-down size list.  I assumed the 9N would be the same, but it was wider, so had to return them.  The 9S is available at
the Daniel Green website, but not, for some reason, at Amazon anymore.

Also, the gold is not as pretty as it was years ago, which was a metallic gold, not dull, like it is now.  Still my mother's
favorite slipper.

Great way to save your presidential gold dollars. There is only one slot per president. Serious coin collectors know there should be two, -one for Denver and one for Philadelphia mints. Since the mint mark appears on the rim of the coins versus front or rear face, it doesn't matter that much. By the way, next year is the last year they will be minting them. They are ending with one for Nixon and one for Ford in 2016. You have to be dead
to appear on a coin. President Carter is still alive so it stops with Ford. I intend to beg them continue with each new president.

The Christmas displays are out again and my grocery store had a small display of small mesh bags of Frankford Milk Chocolate Coins. I picked up a 1.5-ounce bag of  six good-sized gold coins. The gold was tightly wrapped about the milk chocolate center. Evidently, these bags come in various sizes and contain different mixes of coins. That's okay by me, I use them not as gifts but as little rewards for my four-year-old boy. When he's good or does something I approve of, I give him a gold coin. He loves his bright gold coins. He plays with them but can't open them as yet so I have to open them for him. So be it. The coins in this particular bag resemble silver dollar in size, perhaps a bit larger. The profile on the front resembles JFK. "Liberty" and "In God we trust" is in raised letters on the front as well as the year 2005. On the reverse side is a spread-winged Eagle and the lettered inscriptions 'United States of America" and "Half Dollar." It's a good coin replica but wouldn't fool anyone except a small kid. I find them to be a fun plaything with my boy.

It's gold tone, not silver as shown.  It is also bigger than I realized it would be.  I think a measuring tape would help with the display photo.  I really like it thoug  :)
