Dear Friends, Please look at this beautiful example of 1918 Mercury dime which appears to be a good strike. Please pass on your comments on Full Bands and possible grade of it. Thanks for all your inputs!   |

I really don't know anything about dimes, but regardless of what series or denomination, this coin looks severely over dipped. I think it would get a details designation.

Close to full bands. AU details, but looks like it may have some environmental damage.

From the images, I would say no FSB's.

I think it was over dipped also but may grade straight. I'm in the corner that all three bands need to be separate for FB but that's just me. due to the size of the photos its very difficult to tell for sure. its definitely not FSB but may be FB. personally don't like the eye appeal on this one but the obverse is nicely struck

Ignoring what everyone else just said, that obverse strike is nutty. If I wanted a 1918 circulated merc dime it'd be this one

From your new photos and restored version I'll say MS-64 SB. Nice . Can I ask how you restored that coin ?  |

I'm still at AU details for this one. Surfaces don't look MS at all.

Looks like split bands, but I think the coin shows signs of light circulation. AU-58.

Not MS in my opinion, but does appear to be FSB in the second set of photos.
