I paid a bit over grey sheet, but not too much.

Good Catch on a 65 NB coin. Not real easy to find either. But then are any of the dates before 34 with the exception of a few P mint coins ? You had better luck than myself yesterday.

So, Ken, wheres the Reverse of the coin you got yesterday?

And, did you peek at the grade after the post, or do you look at the sets now and then?

Ken,

The reverse on that dime, is it a die clash, or posibly a multistrike, or???

Fairlaneman · February 23, 2003 9:49AM

Struck thru debris I believe. Pretty big piece also. I usually do not buy stuff like this but this one was so visible that I had to have it. It will go with the nice 20P die clash dime that has been here for a year or so. Oh yea the Whizzed 29S is also in this batch of different coins.

Hi Tony,

Nice find! Not nearly as softly struck as many I have seen. I'm looking for that one also. Hoping to find a nice 64FB.

Wow Ken, that is really a neat error! What do you think, die grease maybe?

I have made my first submission to PCGS. Sent in 8 Mercs on Friday. It will be interesting to see what kind of grades I get. I did have some great help in deciding what to send in. Now the waiting begins!

Regards,

Wayne

Wayne,

It has partial bands--Oh maybe about 60 to 70%.

Tony

Hi Tony,

Yes, the reverse looks extremely nice for a no bands dime. For what you paid, I think you will look back on this as a bargain someday! Nice luster and eye appeal, and the kind of toning that speaks volumns!

Regards,

Wayne
