Mercury Dimes Two Regrades = Two Upgrades!

I sent in my 1916-D G06. They regraded the coin VG08. The coin was the best good I have seen and better than many VG coins I have seen. I guess PCGS agreed. When I purchased the coin it was in an ANACS holder at G06. It crossed G06 (it should have upgraded at that point). One year later and I guess the coin must have become less worn. Anyway for me I think it is an honest grade for a 1916-D with full rims, visable fasces, and some nice detail on Miss Liberty.
The second coin is my 1925-S. A hairline free coin was graded MS62FB. I think this coin will actually go MS64FB at some point. The coin is a blazer with a hint of tone on the obverse. The coin has better luster than the image shows.
Here is a second photo of the 1925-S.
Edited to add the second image of the 1925-S.

Still, I totally agree with the VG8 grade.
<< <i>Are the rims more full above AMERICA in person than they appear in the scan? >>
The rim is thin but is all there! The image make it look completely merged, but that is not the case!
