My PL Mercury Dime crossed to our host!

My 1941-S Merc was an NGC 67FBPL, upgraded to a 67+FBPL there, and then crossed to PCGS at 67+FBPL. Love the original color on this piece, not blast white like most PL pieces. Super happy about this one, pop 1/1 at our host. To CAC next!

    Very cool, congrats. I checked the cert, just like Lance did, it doesn't work. You'll need to contact PCGS about that.

    Wow, the NGC population for 67+ FB PL coins doubled. I remember when there were only two (and I owned both). Congratulations on the upgrade/cross! You should get a nice premium in that grade. I did when I sold mine. :)

    So only 3 PL’s in all grades so far for the date/mint....67, your 67+, and 68.

    And from looking at the sales for the other 2....yours looks much more eye appealing to me.

    That's quite a coin. Looking at the obverse shot, that very much looks the way proof mercs photograph. Same with the reverse shot, except usually the mint mark is less obvious.

    @LanceNewmanOCC @keyman64 It's strange, the cert worked for around 2 days before the trueview was in but now it’s hasn’t worked for about 4 days. Will contact them soon.

    Good for you, dude! Beautiful Merc. And grade. Unusual, to have it bump up, instead of down. Bet you were the most surprised person in the universe when you found out? Nice turn out of a submission. I too, am waiting on a crossover myself. Also from a NGC slab. B)

    Wow Jason,

    That's a beautiful Mercury dime. I've been collecting them for years & have never seen one close to yours. I've never seen one that I would call proof like. Maybe someday, I'll find mine. Congratulations!

    JasonGamingJasonGaming Posts: 928 ✭✭✭✭

    @Kove my friend, a CAC member, hasn’t sent the coin off yet. It might be a week or two more for results. JA’s tough on PL non-Morgans but I think this will get a bean.

    Very nice indeed. That's definitely a beauty. So I'm curious. You said it upgraded to a 67+ there at NGC before you crossed it. Did you submit it to NGC for a reconsideration or did someone else? I've collected Lincoln cents since I was a kid and have a decent start on my registry set but I seriously don't think I could submit a coin for a 1/2 a grade upgrade! I'm certain mine would go down a 1/2 a grade. Lol! You are seriously on your grading my friend.

    @oih82w8 sent it in for regrade before CAC and they gave it another holder.

    Since it did not upgrade, should the certification number remain the same?

    this is about as accurate as a description as i can provide. ;)

    a lot of PL dies across many series, didn't start out life that way.
