My wife and I are looking at a private collection of coins.
This merc looked appealing enough to us
(we do like the obv tone) to possibly purchase.
We know it's not FSB but that's ok and hopefully it's a nice enough coin to be in the MS Range of grading.
If you could give us your opinion on the grade, that
would assist us in a very helpful manner.
Greatly Appreciate!

I'm at an AU55 on this one. A bit shy of a 58 in my book.

AU-53.
I'm not sure about the toning would add any additional value.

Very nice obverse toning, Grading is very hard, But I see it as no less than an AU50. Bob

FWIW, I kinda liked the toning. Very subjective, but it's working for me. Need to see in hand to know for sure, of course.
