I didnt know they made Mercury dimes out of chrome... All joking aside that is an insanely bright surface. |

I've no problem at all believing a Proof survived this long untoned. It's not difficult.

I don't like the way the obverse looks actually. Just a little too perfect/white

Re: obverse, it could be my admittedly poor photography. It is in a PF 65 NGC slab.

I cant imagine this not have been dipped in a prior incarnation. Based on what? There is no reason at all to make that assumption. It is simply an awesome proof Merc. |

It's an amazing coin- looks like a 67. Enjoy it! (But don't forget your sunscreen)

Wow! I agree....it looks like chrome or nickel plated it is so shiny. Beautiful coin! Hard to tell but looks better than 65

Tough to tell from the photos, but it looks like this has FSB on the Fasces...

Looks much better than a mere 65.
Blast white, clean surfaces! I love this Merc proof. 66 at the very least.

@BamaBlue, quick edit your post and remove what you said! All proof coins show all the details. It has to be FSB. I think it's too shiny and MUST be dipped that the graders let slip by.  |
