My 1941-S Merc was an NGC 67FBPL, upgraded to a 67+FBPL there, and then crossed to PCGS at 67+FBPL. Love the original color on this piece, not blast white like most PL pieces. Super happy about this one, pop 1/1 at our host. To CAC next!

just an fyi, the cert doesn't pull up yet. i ran the number and scanned the bar code.
have fun at cac and keep us updated.
Wow! Great cross & a beautiful coin.
Very nice Merc. Congrats.
Very cool, congrats. I checked the cert, just like Lance did, it doesn't work. You'll need to contact PCGS about that.

Congratulations on the success!
Wow, the NGC population for 67+ FB PL coins doubled. I remember when there were only two (and I owned both). Congratulations on the upgrade/cross! You should get a nice premium in that grade. I did when I sold mine.
That's quite the designation! Congrats

So only 3 PL’s in all grades so far for the date/mint....67, your 67+, and 68.
And from looking at the sales for the other 2....yours looks much more eye appealing to me.
That's quite a coin. Looking at the obverse shot, that very much looks the way proof mercs photograph. Same with the reverse shot, except usually the mint mark is less obvious.
@airplanenut yep, this one looks really close to a proof compared to other PL Mercs. It’s spectacular.

@LanceNewmanOCC @keyman64 It's strange, the cert worked for around 2 days before the trueview was in but now it’s hasn’t worked for about 4 days. Will contact them soon.

Nice coin!!!!!!
One of the best I've seen!
Good for you, dude! Beautiful Merc. And grade. Unusual, to have it bump up, instead of down. Bet you were the most surprised person in the universe when you found out? Nice turn out of a submission. I too, am waiting on a crossover myself. Also from a NGC slab.

Congrats on the grade! Cool piece.
I’ve clicked on this thread like six times just so I can keep revisiting the picture 😍
@kiyote Yep, I can’t stop looking at the photos too. I just love the originality of this one.

Congratulations on the crossover.... That is a nice coin... I had to blow it up to look at the doubling...machine doubling, but some of the serif's looked split....has it on both sides ....Cheers, RickO
Very nice, congratulations !!! 👍
Wow Jason,
That's a beautiful Mercury dime. I've been collecting them for years & have never seen one close to yours. I've never seen one that I would call proof like. Maybe someday, I'll find mine. Congratulations!

So did it CAC as a PL?
@Kove my friend, a CAC member, hasn’t sent the coin off yet. It might be a week or two more for results. JA’s tough on PL non-Morgans but I think this will get a bean.

Look at the die polish on that guy! Those dies got a scrubbing right before that coin was struck. Looks beautiful.
Congrats! Very cool mercury dime.
Very nice indeed. That's definitely a beauty. So I'm curious. You said it upgraded to a 67+ there at NGC before you crossed it. Did you submit it to NGC for a reconsideration or did someone else? I've collected Lincoln cents since I was a kid and have a decent start on my registry set but I seriously don't think I could submit a coin for a 1/2 a grade upgrade! I'm certain mine would go down a 1/2 a grade. Lol! You are seriously on your grading my friend.
Just got back from CAC with a sticker! I’m ecstatic and glad that this piece got what it deserves.

These two are different Certification Numbers...same coin?

@oih82w8 sent it in for regrade before CAC and they gave it another holder.

Since it did not upgrade, should the certification number remain the same?

In the event that you missed it:
Look at the bridge of the nose, it was polished off-- could be the reason for the PL obv

Neat pl merc! I wonder what happened to the obverse die in which the detail of the nose was pretty much grinded off.
Cool coin
