    Another very pretty dime my man👍

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

    Nice, no, very nice Dimes! I've been playing with mine now and then during this shutdown.

    Holy crap. Talk about an upgrade. Love the russet and green toning. Well done!!!

    Both are very nice . I like the white coin personally.
    I once owed a 02 micro O Morgan pedigreed to Larry. When they were determined to be counterfeit the dealer that sold it to me bought it back. Those of you you've been here 15 or so years might remember who that dealer was. He used to be a member.

    a superb upgrade, despite the technical downgrade

    The new coin is FB, which makes it worth about 50% more than the old coin per the PCGS price guide. I have a strong preference for FB coins in the Mercury series.

    Ah good catch, didn't notice that. For what it's worth, I would have switched out for the 66+ if it wasn't FB, as I find the eye appeal superior. Registry ranking be damned.

    I much prefer the new coin.

    It has better eye appeal and it has Full Bands!!

    The grade difference is negligible.
