1917 D Mercury Dime. Atypical (?) Die Clash Obverse/Revere (Harder To See)

Haha. Hey John1, as I just read your question, I was all over that site, and JUST found out I can submit for attribution there. Literally just now as I write this. That's how fresh and new I am. Lol. Anyway, I will be contacting them and work it out. Should be #7 of the six already listed. I guess. Was looking at CONECA to, but I don't think they do Die Clash attribution though they identify it. Like I said, just learning this new area as I realized my coin was special. Lol. Maybe not premium special, but definitely qualifies in the COOL department. :-) Anyway, yes, I will be getting with them. Thx

Some would like that but others wanting perfect appearances would not. Also, surface appears sort of grainy. I wonder if really an MS grade?l

Dont overthink the whole 'in someone's collection' thing. I didn't save them until BJ won one of mine @ auction.

Dont think of it being #7, but #1 for the date.

That's not just a keeper, but a screamer!

All comments Understood. With regard to dipping and grainy, etc., I have bought coins from this individual a number of times. I think I noted he does use lighting to dull coins for viewing. He also states cleaning is out of the question. Not happening. So... who knows. But actual coins are mostly very luster like. Some have some soiling or natural aging features, and some don't. But none looked cleaned or dipped, though not completely sure what dipping does besides yes, make it cleaner and less grime I guess. I did look at pictures of dipped coins. Done right it can be nice. But again.... I'll take his word for it for now. Time will tell. But the ones I have I compared to similar graded coins. No difference. Luster is as it should be, etc.

But here's the deal.....I am preparing many coins for grading. Quite a few. I 100% will be reporting back on results. Even if many busts. Lol. I'm just going to lay it all out. I'm calling it my learning curve event. See where I did well. Where I did bad. Adjust. Adapt. Move on. Word!! :-)

No worries macmercury, but you could be right. Yes, we will find out, and will be a huge lesson learned for me.

To John1....I did contact Jason Cuvelier of MADs site. Awaiting reply.

NGC. But will have to go to Mads first if they reply with interest. Will let you know.

John1...just to let you know....Jason Cuvelier did finally get in contact with me from my Sept 2019 request for Attribution on this Clashed Merc (MadDieClashes). He apologized and noted many obstacles at the time, and I told him apology not necessary of course.

So...he asked to have contact him again after the first week of June, and we will talk Attribution. Liked what he saw in my pictures I sent in Sept. I also told him about my 1916 Barber dime that is clashed and most likely send that to. Anyway....just an FYI on that suggestion you made for MadDieClashes.
