MS-65FB. A choice coin for a type set! Although I don't find the toning very attractive.

If you like the toning, do whatever you can to preserve as is. That means enclosing it in an airtight. Acetone bath and completely dry beforehand. Toning will progress to full grey over time, if you don't take any action. I like your FSB's !  Typical nice wing detail over Mercury's ear (first master die), in MS grades for this type. Was worth w8ing for. |

That is an excellent dime!

Is it just me or does the reverse look like a stronger strike newer die than the obverse? Over all I like the look. John1  |

A most above average strike on this first year issue AND the most incredible toning. This is an irresistible specimen indeed! I mainly collect Mercury dimes, so I'm certainly partial for the series in general (and early dates in particular). Quote:

Toning will progress to full grey over time, if you don't take any action.  This is in a PCGS slab and was previously in an ANACS slab. So already protected, right? I can't see this going "to full grey"...or am I missing something? Edited by one_fine_dime

Although not completely airtight, it should be OK.
A close fitting capsule would have been slightly better, but if were mine, I would certainly would not crack it out of the slab.
