dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 11:53 am interesting those mirrors are PL but I am not aware of having seen too many business strikes with PL surfaces so I am left to scratch my head. From the education I have been given, the flow lines seem evident so I do not imagine this was a polish job. I am an avid collector of high end Mercury dimes and I cannot call this one #confused Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 8:31 pm I would say MS64. That is a nice coin. Sucks that it has those splotches. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/22/2014 11:24 am Nice looking coin. More than likely it is your photo that makes it appear almost proof like for shime. Appears to be a scratch on neck. Middle bands on reverse are completely flat. Small dent in one of the diagonal bands too. Still all in all should or could be a MS-62 or -63. I don't think it would go as high as -64 but never can tell. Report this Post to the Staff

stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 06/22/2014 1:39 pm interesting issue about this and the nickel. When I was at my LCS, I had put a nickel and a dime in one corner and another in the other corner of a cloth. The owner too the wrong ones. these were the two I had actually discarded. I realized my mistake after posting the images and called the LCS on Saturday. I am going to go in Monday and see if they will let me swap them out for the other two I wanted.

chasingtailbar Pillar of the Community 968 Posts	Posted 06/22/2014 9:16 pm MS details. You've got some kind of crap on the obverse there... Not a bad coin, but needs a soak in acetone and maybe a dip... I'd call it a 63 when it's all said and done. That scratch on the neck may keep it to a 62. Report this Post to the Staff
