Hello all, I haven't started many threads over here in quite some time. I did a guess the grade on this over on another forum, so some of you may know the answer already. But I thought I would get the opinions of the Mercury Dime collectors over here as well. The lines in front of Liberty's face are die polish lines.

Nice Dime........looks 65 to me. Can't tell on the bands from pic....looks close.

Pretty. 67 No Bands.
A little residue; too bad it wasn't dipped in acetone before submission. Nice gem +.

Put me down in the 66FB camp (just barely on the FB).
Stunning coin. 65 because of the spot (?) near L on the Obverse. Otherwise, 66+

does 42 comes with large S or is that the 43?
67fb? the hit on the bands may have stopped the fb. happens all the time.

I'd go 66. The peripheral strike is a tad weak and looks like maybe the bands are just shy. I'd say No FB especially if that was newly graded at PCGS, as the new graders seem to be very conservative with strike designations.
66 full bands
HAPPY COLLECTING
Grading from a photo is never accurate
That is mine I would guess MS66FB.
65+FB, luster doesn't scream enough for a 66
Why is the bottom half of the 2 so flat (and the bottom of the 4)? Are they all like that? The coin is a 66 if anything, and frankly, I cannot find enough wrong with it not to give it + as well. As far as full bands, I need a better photo, but except for that one tiny area towards the right side of the band, I would say yes. I cannot tell from the photos. Needs a good spin for these eyes.

A lot of good guesses coming in. The luster is very flashy with a very satiny appearance. It looks like it had clashed and had some polishing work done to abrade the clashing away.
67 and just misses fb.
67fb nice coin
Well here she is. A PCGS MS-65FB rattler. I'm considering sending it to CAC to see if it get's a Gold Bean. My personal opinion is it's a lock 67. I like it better than the 1942 MS-67 from NGC that came back with a green bean. But we'll see, it's one of those that "just" made FB. It never would have made FB over at NGC.
I'll wager it comes back a 6 with FB. Great looking Merc regardless of the grade. The images are A+, well done. 150mm?
I would have said 66FB.... not surprised at the old 65 grade though... times - and grades - have changed. Cheers, RickO
