Hi all, Looking to see what everyone comes up with on the Mercury dime I found while hunting through rolls earlier. After a bit of reading, I would say around F-15 or VF-20? Curious to see how close my read is to some with more experienced eyes. Thanks!! PS: Obviously ignore the two Roosevelts.

I'm not very good at this but, I think you're in the ballpark. However, F-15 is probably the max for this. More likely it's F-12 or VG-10 on the low side. Posting pics of only the Mercury dime would probably help.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Yep, lone photos are probably better, good point. Sadly the camera I'm using isn't great, but hopefully good enough for a non-crucial coin/grade like this one. Thanks for the feedback and the grade    |

I'm at vf details cleaned 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."
