I think this grades around MS-62/63, not sure but does it make FSB or just Partial split bands? Thanks for any thoughts! RK    |

63fsb. Some hits to the fasces. Full channel in spite of hit to the center bands. Otherwise very nice with no other marks. Pretty coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

63FSB. Look at that flowlining...die erosion, obverse subsidence and that rough look...very attractive LDS; makes me wonder if the bands were recut on the dies. This is a really nice Merc.

i think it could go either 62 or 63. I'm leaning toward MS63FSB. I think the eye appeal is hurt a little by the blotchy toning

 MS 63 FSB. Any beauty in toning is in the eye of the beholder. |
