A couple of years ago I won a beautiful 1923 Mercury dime on ebay for $24.00. After sitting in my collection I finally sent it to NGC for grading and was very pleased with the results.

I am not surprised that you are pleased with it.
Excellent FB Mercury and not of one of the more common dates for FB. Reasonably sharp strike on the obverse as well.

If it doesn't sell I'm happy to keep it in my collection, but I told my wife I would list it on ebay.

1923s are common with full bands. Not so much in MS66, though. Nice coin and nice profit.
