Looks like I am getting into crusty Merc Dimes lately. Certainly not Dipped coins. Guess the Grades if you would like to.

Edit to add:

Looks like, from the GTG results, my pictures are terrible.

1919D



1924D



1925P

    Based on the pics they all look like 62-63. Nice original coins.

    Nice mercuries! I haven't purchased many lately, haven't found any that caught my eye...

    The second may be fb, they seem to look at the center band for splitness, all look like nice and original and could be unc., tiny friction, which they can be liberal on.

    If you consider those "crusty", then I'd love to see the "uncrusty" ones.

    Your coins look fine to me.

    That just goes to show you will never get market value for raw coins; and the PCGS holders are the most aesthetic especially for small coins like this where holders are critical for presentation.

    I was gonna guess 63 on all and it's nice knowing I would have been 0/3.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I agree with the 19-D, but the 24-D and 25-P are really disturbing. The 19-D looks better than the other 2 to me. Maybe it is just the pics.

    My thoughts. The 19D suffers from a weak strike on the reverse. The bottom band is not split which if seen in a picture like the one shown it would look like wear for sure. If I would have sent both the 24D and 25P in for grading they would have got a bath for sure. Just too much crud on them. No wear or luster breaks on either coin.

    I am thinking about sending all three in for conservation. I am almost sure they will be better looking dims after conservation.

    Ken, I kind of like them the way they are. But of course they are your coins and your call. Good luck what ever you decide.

    Maybe pictures like the following would be better for showing coins. Luster can be seen in this type of picture and they can be blown up large enough to see any flaws.
