Meltdown

I wasn't expecting it but I was hopeful. 
The reverse is 90% cameo awesome.
I had a litte trouble with my focus but otherwise this is pretty accurate to this sucker in person

Nice looking proof Merc.
I have heard of those Mercs in rattlers are good candidates for gold beans. Nice one!

Not bad! Looks like it's pushing 67.

Congratulations on the Gold bean.
Beautiful strike and if our beloved RickO was here with us.....
I think I’ve heard of a decent number of older-holder business strikes receiving gold CAC stickers. But I doubt that’s been the case with Proofs.

The lower grade ones have a decent hit rate from what I've observed in the series.

It does seem that PF65 was a pretty safe grade to hand out on an otherwise clean proof. I've seen a lot of OGH Franklins in that grade as well.
I've always felt graders and/or grading companies had/have an interest or maybe a caution when it comes to protecting high grade population value.
I’ve got a ‘42 in PR66 in an OGH. I need it to get a gold bean to be worth what I paid for it in 2006
Congrats on the gold bean! That’s a nice looking Merc!
Really nice looking Merc 👍🏻
Nice one, I wouldn't argue about it if it was in a 67 holder.

I miss RickO. I had an alt here before this account and he was always super chill.

Yes. I bought it in May at a shop in Washington State.

Truly a nice example of a Winged Liberty Head dime. I have one of that grade from 1942, but none other, at least not yet.
Gold is good.
Bellevue rare coin?
