lovecoins Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 10:13 am I recently bought this 1935 Mercury dime on heritage for under a hundred dollars. Link is below. Should I regrade it to a 68. It is currently a 67. With almost a 5000 dollar increase in value and a registry set essential should I regrade it. http://coins.ha.com/itm/mercury-dim...1443-27411.s Edited by lovecoins 05/30/2015 10:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 10:15 am I would re-grade it just so I could have a nicer slab. But I'm a neat freak. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 10:42 am I don't think the strike is strong enough for MS68. All the 68's are FB. Report this Post to the Staff
lovecoins Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 10:48 am but dosen't strike not affect grades only wear Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 11:04 am To a certain point but it looks like 67 is the plateau for a non FB Mercury. I could be wrong, however. Wait for input from the Mercury dime guys. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 11:07 am I personally have seen non fb Mercury dimes reach 67 and I've seen quite a few. Then again I have never seen a fb ms68 merc. Perhaps do some more research on population reports on ms68 mercs. I would love a ms68 highest I have is a 42d ms67 Edited by Imthealphaomega 05/30/2015 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 11:55 am Where did you find a price? According to that auction, there are none in MS68. With that given, one can expect that many have been resubmitted looking for that elusive number. For that grade, strike is definitely a factor in grade. I won't offer MS68 to a coin which is not fully struck. Report this Post to the Staff
lovecoins Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 12:28 pm the prices are for a 68 FB. There are no 68s only 68 FBs Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 1:12 pm Not sure why you would want to even consider trying to get a MS-68 for that coin. Not FSB and just not worth it with so many millions minted. If it was mine, it wouldn't make for my Set #1 or #2. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 4:49 pm There won't be any MS68's without Full Bands. A full strike is necessary for this grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 6:28 pm Don't waste your money. Even if you got a 68 (most unlikely), it wouldn't fetch the dough without FSB. Let's face it - this is a pretty common coin, even in 67. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 6:45 pm Looking for this to be a 68 is a bit of a stretch. If you want to throw a few bucks at it for the grins, go ahead, but not a good risk imo. Report this Post to the Staff
