While going over my Mercury dimes I came across this one having a full band. Any thoughts on grade? Thanks!

the yellow haloing is odd, dipped at one point? you can definitely see some die flow on her. I cant see any ware but I will hold it to an MS 65 for the rim scratching at the top of the obverse.
Feel free to call me Will.

The yellowing is likely residual from its being in the ground. I found the coin while metal detecting some time back. It accounts for the rim scratch as well.

If that is the case first of all WOW! What a well preserved ground find! Second but most important! You should put this coin in pure acetone. I recommend searching it on the forum search.

I'll do that. It would be good to remove the yellowish tint. Thanks you.
