rycolemet Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 10:08 am I bought this dime raw on ebay last week. What do you think it would grade if sent to a top-tier TPG? I can provide more pictures if needed. Thanks for your time! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 10:31 am I'll go first. Looks like it should make MS66 but I think it may fall just short of FSB. Nice Merc! Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 12:16 pm Really nice surfaces. MS-67 or -68 is within the realm of possibility. As for FSB, that's a close call AND depends upon who you send it to, PCGS or NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 5:54 pm Looks like a hit above the O in GOD. I would say MS66 maybe 67 and not FSB. Nice looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 10:11 pm I think it could go 67. Agree that it just misses fsb. The center band is close but just misses Report this Post to the Staff
