Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 04:33 am I picked this merc up for a great deal. I love the toning. It's BU and the toning makes it look like a hit on the rim but it's not. Edited by Valhallabound 04/06/2021 04:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 04:40 am All the die marks are matching up with the WRPM002. Thanks for your quick reply John. All the help is welcomed! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 07:13 am I just checked and maybe it is, but your pic is to pixelated for me to tell for sure. HINT: When looking at the three sites we all use, and you think you found a match you need to replicate the pics the same way they are on those sites and take pics the same way and post them here.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 08:59 am It would help if you removed the coin from the plastic and re-photographed it with larger, straight-on images. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 10:06 am I agree with the frog. Very nice coin--I'm thinking MS65 too. Report this Post to the Staff
Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 7:56 pm Thanks for all the help everyone. My phone wouldnt let me use the usual photo editor on here so I had to use one I'm not used to. I can get better pictures out of the holder with side by sides of the sites pics. There is a date from ten years ago on the back so I was afraid to take it out until I sent it off for grading. Will it damage the coin somehow. Would it be safe in one of the capsules with the foam rings until it's sent off? Thanks again everyone. I'll update with better pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 8:16 pm Standing by. Really impossible to grade accurately from the original pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 8:33 pm I understand, I was just nervous to take it out after ten years of it being in there,but I'll transfer to a capsule and get some good pictures while it's out. Again I appreciate your Guys time helping out. I really enjoy this community and appreciate the honest and straight forward help you all have to offer. Report this Post to the Staff
Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 12:27 am This is the best I can do for now. I appreciate the help. I'll do some work on the computer to size them with photoshop to get better resolution. If they are still blurry I apologize. Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 02:24 am Nice! Good strike with a few dings at the fasces. Those capsule are tough to remove once you squeeze it together, sometime I used a sharp blade to separate them carefully, more the reason I don't used them anymore, using safe flaps instead and put them into album page. This variety is a bit tough to locate, and hard to distinguish in lower grades. AU to lower MS, not sure about FB with that ding in the presence. Report this Post to the Staff
