welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 3:37 pm There is also some toning on the reverse's edge that will affect the grade too. I'd say it's an MS62 or MS63. Do you plan on getting it graded or keeping it raw? Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 3:44 pm The rub on the hair, ear and cheek makes it an AU coin and worth no more than junk silver. Spot price at this moment is $16.61 so it is worth $1.18. Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 4:09 pm Well I was going to get an opinion on here first and it appears that even in the lower MS grade the coin wouldn't be worth more than a few dollars. So I will probably keep it raw and possibly use it to trade. I believe I got it in a junk silver lot before so that is probably where I will keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 11:13 am I hate to be a downer here, but I've no idea myself how to grade a Merc from images this small. Tiny marks cost a grade point on this series, and from what's visible here this could be AU50 or MS68. Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 11:34 am I thought that too SD but I still need to work on pictures. My phone can only get so close before everything becomes blurry. :/ Report this Post to the Staff
