Forgive the pics. The slab is scratched not the coin. Just purchased at the coin show in Loveland, Colorado this morning.

    Nice, I'm at PF66 based on the photos. I recently picked up a 38 proof merc. with and ANACS photo certificate.

    PF66 and with better pics PF67 possible. Nice coin. Never collected any Merc proofs. Good pickup.

    I agree with some above. Looks PR66 shot 67, no CAM

    Good looking example ... I think (needs a polished slab and another shot)

    Can’t grad a proof from one photo. But I like the brightness of the coin hard to find without haze. If I had tier I’d throw out a 65 If indeed it is in a 65 holder leave it there and have it beaned
    Just my opinion

    I'd guess PR66 based on the images
    Nice dime, are you working on a set?

    It was good. Small but there were some good coins. One dealer had some Trade Dollar patterns listed in the $80,000's I thought were neat. Overall, a little of everything for everyone

    Cool, hopefully most of the tables are still there tomorrow. Probably a shot in the dark, but I'm hoping to find a Barber half with an ANACS photo certificate.

    Not really working towards any sets. Just really appreciating older proofs. Plus I have always liked the proofs minted between 1936-1942.

    Saw the capital holder with the full set of proof trade dollars in it near the entrance. That was pretty cool. Didn't find what I was looking for, so settled for a 10 ounces of silver instead.

    Looks like a nice dime. The grade is difficult to guess with the slab scratches but since they are all on the holder and not on the coin I will guess PR67.

    If you want to rotate your coin back just do this.

    I will try this tonight. The dealer I bought it from liked the coin but was ultimately selling it because it wasnt centered in the holder.

    Technically, a coin rotated in a holder is still centered. So did this dealer offer you a discount since there was an issue that (in his mind) couldn't be fixed? :D

    He did take a few bucks off. It was a good deal regardless.
