Thoughts on this 1942 Mercury Dime

cmerlo1

As you can see by the holder, I don't have much in this. The coin has a dark gray appearance, but when you tilt it in the light, you can see pink, green and gold. What are your thoughts on color like this? I happen to like it...

Obverse YES.
Reverse NO.

I'll tell you right now....Ricko will not approve.

Smudge

The bands look good.

Its much too dark for me but condition wise it looks nice for the investment, seems like a nice album piece.

Here's your dime with color and density adjusted for a white 2x2:

I like it too.
It has character.

Well...It is a VERY good year... and the reverse looks like it will grade FB...However, the tarnish is a bit too much for me.....Of course, many prefer that look...Cheers, RickO
