and it is a real bueat. Nice solid 65. The dark areas in B&M's pic must have been a reflection. There is 1 noticable tic on the chin and a small depressed area on the bands or they would be full. It's a really nice sharp strike and blast white. You blast white only people would love it. It is sooooooooooooo much better than the 64FB that Gary Adkins had (or still has) and only cost half as much and it's a better strike even though it is not full bands. I will try to get a good pic of it later. This weekend I'm doing "honey do" stuff and getting ready for the Silver Dollar show.

It's nice to have the full set, but I'll still be looking at Mercs at any show I go to looking for upgrades.

Later, Jon

    Sure, go ahead and tease us by not posting the pic yet. image I think you ought to be punished for that. Maybe send each Merc collector one Merc of their choice? image

    I knew it looked real good, I am so glad a board member got it, and will show it off.... I will trade, I got mine in as well, and am very pleased with it. mine has a very light tone, hardly noticeable. But a good stike and fits my set well, till I can afford the FB.

    Al,

    You might as well go 64, there's not that much difference.

    A friend of mine who grades conservative said my 62 is a no brainer 63 and might 64. And it has a full strike. The bands are there, but a hit closed them. I wish I could have sold you mine and bought the 64FB that Whitlow had, but now is sold.

    Hello Jon,

    Congrats! I know it is always a great feeling to get that elusive one. Your set is now complete, right? You have finished a formidable task and are in rare company.

    Hello Ken,

    Sorry to hear yours is going back. I HATE to return stuff, but when it is not what you paid for, you have little other choice.

    Hello Al,

    Heck, I'm just discovering dealers and avenues you guys have known about for years. So if all you guys can't find one on the internet for Al, I'll spend some time in the car instead of at the keyboard, and check out the local coin dealers. I have already spent the $100.00 Al, on a pretty 37D 67FB, incentive to go out and earn it!!

    Regards,

    That's what I like to hearimage.Positive feedbackimage.But remember no variegated one'simage.Al

    Hello Al,

    You know, I will be looking for the one that is so white "It can be found in the dark". Variegated? Doesn't that have something to do with plants? Al, if I find one, I would only refer one that I would own myself, if I had the funds, and I am da*m hard to please when it gets to this level!
