Mercury dime GTG poll, What do you think?

Picked this coin up today at my local B&M, thought it looked nice. It's in a PCGS holder:

I went with 66FB. With those flow lines, I bet it has killer luster. I think the hit on the cheek keeps it out of a 67FB holder.

Edit to add: Nice photos by the way.

I thought perhaps the depression on the top bands on the left end would keep it out of a FB holder?

65FB

a few hits and the strike is a bit soft over the lowwer wing and framing hairline

I do agree it probably has great luster

I voted 65FB. Too many hits for 66, but the bands are definitely full.

I gotta go with 65FB

keyman64 · January 30, 2012 2:31PM

I voted.

64 FB

The full bands seems like a no-brainer. I will guess 65 so 65FB. Mercs aren't my specialty. 64FB would not surprise me. A non FB sure would though.

65fb

66FB

Pic is lg and exaggerates the tiny hits

Given the extreme blow up, it is hard to tell how distracting the hit on the cheek is. I would guess 65FB or 64FB, but I am leaning towards 65FB.

65FB.... Cheers, RickO

This coin really does have great luster as some people noticed the extreme flow lines. The hit on the cheek is barely noticeable in hand... It resides in an old green MS65FB holder.

Thanks for looking!
