albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 6:49 pm Looking at some of my old coins, this is PCGS graded as MS65FB. Center bands don't look full to me. What do you thick? Also this is an old holder, think this would regrade 66? Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 7:00 pm The bands probably look more complete with a different angle of light. 1937 isn't a particular bad date for strike, but not an exceptionally good one. TPGs usually will give the FB designation to a dime with a bare split like this unless it's a date known for being well struck consistently. It might make 66, because the fields are pretty clear, but I'd call it 65 with the marks on the face. Report this Post to the Staff
albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 7:11 pm Thank you, not a merc dime expert; but like the coin. Bought many before 1981 rise; sold about half of them before the fall; some I just couldn't part with..... Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 10:57 am Nice coin but if you tried to send it out for grading and it comes back the same or less, waste of money. My self, I'd put it in my Albums. Report this Post to the Staff
