I would like to hear some thoughts on this merc having FS-501 D/D inverted mintmark or not. Thanks!

It does have the Stage C die crack from Wing to Rim.

I found a copy on ebay to compare mint mark position. It is VP-002 on NGC.

2nd photo - reverse of ebay coin - the file size may be an issue.

I'm with Stoneman. Congratulations on a great find.

Even though similar cracks seem to show up in the same locations some years, the die crack on yours has all the little turns and twists as the variety.

That's a really nice looking Mercury dime. I'm curious what NGC had as a grade for this one. It looks like it might be MS66 Full Bands!

I went ahead and stickered the variety and snapped a photo. NGC has it at MS67FB. I have been on the hunt for this variety for two or more years and this is the first I have seen.

Very nice. Thanks for the extra image.

I was leaning towards 67 but curbed my enthusiasm a little.

Hm. I couldn't get the CAC Cert for 981607036 to show a coin. Maybe it hasn't been uploaded to the external site yet?

I just got the results back this morning, so it will probably show in a day or two.
