    Yes, I think they will straight grade. That is some very nice toning.
    My guesses are 66, 65, 65FB, 66. (it is hard to tell with the toning)

    Yes most likely they will, but I don't see better than a 64 and only one possible FB. Hope you post the results in a few months as it will be interesting to see how these grade.

    If any don’t I could see the first being environmental damage. The others look like they should pretty handily get through.

    Don’t know the series but would say yes and then for the record:
    45
    58
    64
    65

    I'm with Ricko on these. To me, dimes need to be blast white. Don't know why I think that. Perhaps I think it is very distracting to have toning on such a small coin.

    best of luck,

    To me not much eye appeal on any of these coins. Perhaps they will straight grade but much better examples exist.

    1936: MS64.
    1925: MS65 FB.
    1916: MS65 FB.
    1929-D: MS66 (close, but not quite full bands).

    I do believe they will straight grade....Thought the obverse of the first one is a tough call. Too much tarnish for me on those Mercs.... Cheers, RickO

    None of them appeal to me - badly tarnished, unattractive. They will only get worse as time goes on. Environmental damage? It’s a foregone conclusion.

    I do think they may have chance to straight grade considering like slabbed material I have seen on the bourse. However the obv of first one so horrible just don’t know.

    I believe that they all will straight grade.
    A good shot on the '16 for FB.

    Grades popped 12-4. Grades in original first post. They went at about what I thought they would.

    Congrats, you have a good eye. The ‘16 is very pleasing in my opinion.

    Cool batch of Merc's!
    I think they'll all straight grade but only the '16 will receive the Full Bands designation?
    Good Luck ;)

    Congrats. Nice grades. And it further confirms that I cant grade Merc Dimes to save my life... I would have thought coins 1 & 2 were AUs...
