Thanks folks, I'll leave it up to see if there are any other prognosticators....

Maybe MS-64? The reverse might be showing a weak strike issue, rather than circulation wear.
Errers and Varietys.

Should be an easy one.. Nothing is easy when you're grading from glamour shots.....  With a name like "macmercury" - he's gotta know what the grade is! I woulda said 65. |

Strong example. I could see MS66.

Maybe MS-63, that large Rim ding/damage at about 8'40 on the reverse(and shows a bit around 9'20 obverse) probably takes it down. Great looking coin but that damage may take it down, or might even Details it(though that is unlikely)

really nice toning, however, this is a TV photo. typically I reduce my grade when using these.
a solid MS65 and probably MS66, in this case I'm not reducing my grade as the toning probably looks pretty good in hand.

Not FB but still a beauty, MS-66.

Outstanding! Imagine having a few mint-fresh dimes in your pocket back in '44...

Oh boy, I missed this by 6 Grades !  Could be from the dime weak strike. |

Could be from the dime weak strike. happens to the best of us. reverse is a tad weak. the difference between a nice AU58 and an MS coin is one of the toughest calls in grading. |

i can see what you were looking at. you're pretty good at grading so I dont have to tell you how to grade. what I looked at on this one was not the high points of the devices as they are more prone to even the slightest of weakness in strike or later state dies which I think they may have been at best MDS. I was looking at the fields and looking for signs there and those fields are super clean.

I was off by two. Beautiful Mercury dime in a very nice grade! Errers and Varietys.
