Care to help me try to grade this raw 1939D Merc. Of course any and all opinions wanted good and/or bad.

If that's only an MS63, where can I buy a box full?

Here's a PCGS MS67FB for comparison:

Note: There's a scrape on the plastic over the middle bands.

MS65FB

Provided this coin gets handled properly between the 2x2 holder through to PCGS grading, it should grade 67FB. The 39-D is a common Merc and PCGS doesn't scrutinize common Merc's as much. I've seen this date and 44-D, 43-D, etc., with heavy hits/abrasions on the fasces and one coin wiht a sizeable ding right on the center bands...and they still made 67FB.

sorry guy's- just giving my honest opinion of what I would expect if I submitted it to PCGS. And Russ the pic you showed is so full of glare I could not tell much accept to say it's Unc. and not full bands. mike

I'd say 64 or 65FB, depending on the severity of a couple of scratches I can see.

I've got a 1916(not D) that looks a lot like this coin, and I'm praying it hits 65 or 66FB

.

Nice merc!

The reverse is outstanding,a few minor marks on the obverse may keep out
of 67.......Super coin.
Russ
I think the submitter got a little lucky on receiving a 7,due to the weak strike on the reverse.

66 FB.

How many of these have you submitted recently?
They are aweful tough on them.

66fb with a chance for 67fb

JRocco · March 29, 2005 1:45PM

With coin in hand- I see a solid 66 with a good shot at a 67. Thanks for all the opinions guys.

MisterRich · March 29, 2005 1:58PM

My best quess would be 64FB to 65FB

ChuckC · March 29, 2005 2:36PM

65FB

MAD4MORGANS · March 29, 2005 6:48PM

Under this extreme magnification I've noticed sometimes some clutter or specs show up from the 2x2s plastic. I would give it an overall MS67 FB (PCGS)- O65/R68. The reverse looks super and well struck to me.

You'll have to let us know how well it scores.

---edited...Forgot to include the FB (Full Bands) designation in my post.
