Sometimes you just have to gamble a bit.....New Merc.

Seller's photo. I paid $20, no reverse photo shown. 1945 P Merc. It was obvious from the description that the seller is not coin savy. Due to the obverse and reverse grade listed, it's obvious the coin was graded some time ago, possibly before the use of FSB on Mercs. Maybe that illusive FB on this date awaits me. I thought it worth the gamble for the price of a few beers at the pub.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    20 bucks for a 45 P with no reverse picture. You are a gambler. A REAL gambler.

    I'll wish you the very best of luck on this one.

    That 45 has real nice hair detail, which means the chance for full bands is less than nill.

    Are you sure the seller knows what a mintmark is? Maybe you will end up with a nice "Micro S"
    or a D mint FSB.
