Should I sell my 1916d Mecury dime?

Question

I just asked a question about how much it was worth, but now I am wondering if I should sell it. It's an AU55 rating. Is this something worth holding on to and one day it's worth a whole boat load or is selling it now the best way to go. Any advice from coin collectors

Answer 1

You should probably keep it.

You may want to consider having it professionally graded though.

Make sure that you use a reputable grading company. You can do some research, but Professional Coin Grading Service - PCGS.com  and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation - NGCcoin.com are two of the most reputable.

Once graded, it will be put in a tamper evident holder that will assure any future buyer of it's actual condition.

In the future if you decide to sell it, a graded coin will bring a premium over a non-graded coin.

Answer 2

Im not a coin collector but if it isnt that important to you, you should sell it to get some cash but if you are a collector, keep it.

Answer 3

well, you could sell it, but you won't get enough for it.

In my grandmother's collection I found 10 of them.

Answer 4

I gave you the value and now I will tell you to hold onto it. Mercury dimes a collected by a lot of people and as time passes the younger generation will notice that though a small coin it happens to be a true piece of art and is quite beautiful in grades of extra fine and above. I would hold onto it for the only place the value has to go is up.
