Hi, Everyone.

I just got this coin in the mail, and I wanted to share the joy Let me know what you think of the pics, too.




Edited to add

I got this coin from a seller with the nickname dixcs, in case anyone's interested. I' happy to pass along the name, since the coin came exactly as described and is full bands. (It's amazing how many people sell Mercuries as full bands when they're not even close.)

I donated some free Photoshop time. Your version couldn't fit on my screen.

(edited to remove my version, no longer needed. Your new pics are very good!! )

Thanks! I'm not sure what the red light is coming in from one side of the picture. I didn't have anything red near the coin when I took the pic.

Thanks, Pentiento! I should've scaled the pics down, but I didn't realize how huge they'd be when I uploaded them. They're not that big here on my screen in the Windows Pictures app (in Vista RC1).

Hey, Ken.

Thanks! I've scaled down the pics to be slightly more sane! I guess my enthusiasm got the better of me.

One thing I always struggle with is how big to make the pics to show the bands well. A lot of Mercuries (and I'd assume Roosies, although I don't collect those) are photographed (IMHO) too small to show the bands clearly enough to make a FB determination. It's very frustrating when cruising Ebay...

I bought the coin as MS-64, but if you say MS-65, I'm really pleased.
