    Apparently Mercs look good even in low MS grades.

    I wouldn’t draw nearly that general of a conclusion from this thread.

    I wasn't. Here is the Photograde example of MS60 and 64

    I suppose once you start diving down into all of the intricacies such as weak strike, hits, and luster breaks for a professional it's easy to see. But overall even the MS60 looks good.

    Too bad CAC doesn't do ANACS slabs. That is a hands-down Gold Bean.

    I'd crack it and submit it to PCGS.

    Hmmm, I'm guessing the luster isn't quite as good in hand as it appears in the images.

    It's also possible there are some unseen hairlines.
