Mercury dimes in NTC holders

Mikey

I recently bought a 1928 MS65 FB in an NTC holder. Does anyone have direct experience with this grading service and what they cross to with PCGS?

Will it cross to FB or not? I'll try posting a picture.

They're the new ACG... don't take their grade with a grain of salt...

It will if it has full bands. Don't count on it with NTC, though. They are literally worse than ACG. On the plus side, their slabs crack very easily. Just wave the hammer at them and they fall open.

That's the first thing I do.

I recently cracked out 3 NTC Roosevelt's. All 3 were BB'd for "Questionable Color."
Never mind the FB's.....

Mikey,
I hope you bought the coin for it merits, and not because of what the holder say's. Also, even if its a true 65FB, PCGS will never cross it from NTC IMO, send it in RAW!, if not your wasting money and time.

This is the first time I used the closeup rings for my digital camera. I used all three rings, 1x,2x,4x

From the pics, it looks like a nice coin. Can you tell if it has any wear or if it is truly Unc?

I can't retrieve the photos. All I get are boxes with red -x-'s in the them.
Can someone repost these.

Same here. The only thing that shows is the Dreaded Red X

The only thing I will say now is when I look at NTC Mercs on Ebay they always look like the luster is lacking.
