Hey guys, Picked up this Mercury dime with great luster in person. How would you grade this Mercury and would you consider it FSB?   |

Ms61-62. Some hits to cheek, neck and fields. Can't see the left side of the middle bands well enough to tell if it is fsb. Could be.
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."

Hey, I wasn't sure if the nicks on the cheek where flip or not so I took it out. I think it looks a little better. Not sure if it would move your grades any. But here it is out of the flip.  |

A little out of focus, but 62-63 based on what I see. Some obverse field hairlines came into focus. This is challenging based on photos. Nice overall.
