Grade here.

High Res here.

I've wanted a rainbow toned Merc for a while, but never quite thought I'd luck into it like this haha.

    The top 2 bands on the reverse look weak or slightly worn. Otherwise very nice coin, obv looks good except for a few dark specks. Protect that lady. Peace Roy

    Found some FB Mercs in junk silver rolls, but not that nicely toned. Nice find indeed.

    Nice coin...I really like that rainbow toning.

    Nice. I'll go MS66 with a chance at 67 with a color bump.

    I don't care if the bands are weak or if the saxophone player was sick and didn't show up for band rehearsal --- it's a very attractive coin with a lovely curve to Liberty's cheek.

    Did you get this box from Pandora's sister, Pandemic?

    Is that a vine growing into the center reverse band? Is that common on the 43s?

    Sight unseen box of coins...and you received one heck of a mercury dime! What about the remaining "dreck"...in comparison to the dime?

    Was worth wading through the other coins to score this excellent dime. With those kind of deals you never know what may turn up.

    Came back from PCGS as Details... cleaned????

    Gonna have to squint extra hard at this one when it comes back.

    Cleaned? Maybe they need to clean their glasses. Wow, I don't see anything in your images that would make me think cleaned.

  • davewesendavewesen Posts: 6,574 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like

    the obverse has some lines near TY in right field and reverse above E PLURIBUS UNUM, but can not tell if die polish or light scrubbing

    Looks more die polish than cleaning, but do not have it in hand.

  • sellitstoresellitstore Posts: 3,053 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't see "cleaned" on this one but a details grade due to environmental damage if the black spots are actually deep enough to be considered corrosion is possible.

    Do we know that they are calling it "cleaned" or just that it got a details designation?

    I'm not an expert on re-toning, but I don't believe that you get that type of toning on a cleaned coin. There is original skin all around every device. I'm not agreeing with their grade.
