What a difference there is in price from a 67 to a 67+

    Looks like a blazer!

    Was the previous coin in your set a 67, or did you make an even bigger jump with this upgrade?

    I looked up the true view. That is a beauty. Nice strike and amazing luster.
    Congratulations!

    The former dime was a MS67FB

    To the OP: do you think luster was the winning factor?
    In your opinion, having seen and owned both coins- what gives the + dime the edge?
    Also, any chance you have a photo of the other one?
    Your new Mercury is absolutely stunning and other than an ever so slight abrasion/disturbance on the reverse, appears MS68.

    New dime is a stunner! Very dazzling!
    Congratulations!

    Eye Appeal was a BIG factor in obtaining this dime.

    What a luster bomb! It looks like it just dropped out of a new roll.
