Nice luster.
Full bands.
No wear.

Small carbon spots
Field dent under 'UNUM'
Dent high up on middle vertical spit.
Dent on lowest band (upper).

T-Bop is on the right track:-
Lack of definition not die wear, but hub or master die wear. This lack of definition common across most of the Mercurys of this era.
A by product of Wartime production. A new Master and hubs take more effort to produce.

Under the circumstances, reasonably well struck, hence FSB, which most MS Mercurys don't have.

I disagree with 65, but only to a small extent.
Therefore 64.
