I haven't posted any new finds for some time, finally bought this one after some long searches, seller images.

There are die clashes on both side, hard to see from these pictures, but the doubling is strong on the reverse, will get some close up once I get my camera set up.

Your making me jealous. A 45 Mercury dime with FSB?s. WOW. I've only got one and I need more of those. I guess you already know how rare that is. Supposedly only about 2% of all 45 Mercury's are FSB. So how much did that set you back?

@just carl,

I wont consider this one a FSB, its maybe 90% split, the reason is because this is a Doubled Die Reverse, the band appears to be more pronounce.

I have uploaded additional images of the area that's most prominent, comparing this to the one at VarietyVista, with the additional heavy clashes. I believe this could be a earlier die state.

As mentioned at Variety Vista, the strong thickness is noticeable compare to regular strikes.
