    nice one!

    66 and I think it's FB, but not 100% positive. Hammered strike either way.

    Ahhhh, so that is what it looks like. I know the grade assigned so I would spoil the fun for others to guess. image

    It sure is crusty!

    It is flashy, too. The luster is very high which you don't really see in the images.

    Nice strike!

    I'll call it 66FB. I think the subdued luster (or heavy, dark toning) would keep it from 67 at PCGS.

    Highest grade I will give based on a pic is 65.

    So 65.....can't tell about the bands and don't really care as the coin has a nice strike. There is much more to a Mercury dime besides those stupid middle bands that some people put so much value on! imageimage

    Jon,

    I thought NGC coins only drop one point. This thing could cross.
