Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 12:00 am I bought the final Merc that I needed from the 1940s today on E-bay! Just wanted to see what people thought on the grade, I do not have the coin in hand yet. Image: 1940DdimeO.jpg 44.08 KB Image: 1940DdimeR.jpg 47.06 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 12:19 am I'm going with MS-63, I would have said MS-64, but It looks like there is a scratch underneath the Y in LIBERTY. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 1:19 pm Hi Thundercoin, I'd go with MS-63. Luster looks very strong, but as Spider5689 pointed out the mark in the obverse field will probably limit the grade. The center bands don't look like they have a complete separation, so I don't think the coin will qualify for full bands. Report this Post to the Staff
Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 3:21 pm I would agree that it's a bit short of FB, although it's pretty decent. I was thinking MS-63, with an outside chance of MS-64, so it looks like we're all on pretty much the same page. I paid exactly $10 including shipping, so I figured that was fair. Amac- I agree that SGS would go with MS-70 FB! Report this Post to the Staff

justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 09/25/2007 12:23 pm I like this one. It has a very frosty appearance and not too many hits. I would go with MS-63/64. From what I can see in the picture there seems to be a short section of the bands on the right that are not fully separated that would keep it from being an FSB example. Very nice coin!
