MS 65-FB.
Very clean and sharp eye appeal.
If not for the hit on the top diagonal band, I would say MS 66.

I am a merc lover and this is a beautiful coin. I would grade this coin MS66 with full bands. The bands look like they are rounded and there is no way this would not get an 'FB' designation. There are slight marks on the neck which are not very detracting. The mark in the upper diagonal band does not bother me at all and it should not affect the grade. This coin has nice detail and is very sharp looking!

very sweet looking coin! I would say ms-66, I have owned a few later dates in 65 and 66 and this is as good as them. Are you going to get it certified?

It's also a very good strike for an S mint Merc, with no weakness at all around the periphery.

I am looking in the Red Book and it looks like it might be worth $210 if graded MS-65 |

@f16: That must be the price for just MS 65 without full bands. This is clearly fully split and rounded bands, which moves it into an entirely different category. Numismedia says $180 in MS-65 but $720 in MS-65 FB. This is one of those dates where most of the FB designated ones are going to just barely earn the designation, but this example is a really full strike in the center and periphery, so it should go to the higher end of the price spectrum.

MS-65 FB (at a minimum) for sure!
