Picked this one up for only $9 shipped, even through the poor photos I think this coin is exceptional, very close to FB. what do you think? It's very hard for me to turn down a good looking merc even if they're easy to find in high grades

I'm waiting for in hand pics on this one. Nice strike though! Not a fan of the fingerprint on obverse. Maybe an old cleaning.
Rest in Peace

I agree with the above comments.
The obvious fingerprint would not worry me as much as it does other collectors.

I'll say MS-64, likely FSB. Nice buy.

Adam... Good pic to show newbies why you need to wear cotton gloves when handling silver coins!
Still a nice coin!

Best example of FBL I've seen here recently.

I think they may knock it for the fingerprint. MS64 no FSB

MS 64, could be FB, I also knock it down not because of fingerprint, but the 2 hits on the fasces.

MS-64 FB, fingerprint is mildly distracting.

I think eye-appeal will keep this out of a 65 holder and out of 65 money.
