Thanks for looking, just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this Merc.  New image of reverse to help determine FSB. Thanks for all the comments!  Edited by srs77 01/03/2017 1:48 pm

Beautiful example. My thoughts are MS 65. Could be FSB if the middle band is indeed split. Still find it hard sometimes to grade from photos.

MS-66. Not split bands - center of center band has a connecting spot.

Thanks all... I'll see if I can re-shoot the reverse to see about the bands.

With the additional reverse photo it shows a very small area that remains connected at the center of the band. So I'd stay with my NOT FSB. If the FSB start anything funny with us NOT FSB we have one more person on our side - so don't rile us up  Or we could all just beat up on 88isgreat since he couldn't decide

Apparent chatter in left obverse field and contact mark between I and B leaves me at 64, not FSB.

MS64, non FSB. This is an LDS Merc (heavy flow lining and overpolishing on the axe head and branch.)
