1943-S Mercury Dime For Grading. I Would Like To Also Know If They Are Full Bands

Thank you very much for your time. I did an ebay search and found an MS66 sold for $21! The prices and grades do not make any sense to me at all. I see some that are listed asa being graded with no photos of the reverse!
I will not be grading this one for sure as I will take the forums advice and save my money. P.S. I agree with you a hundred percent about the grading being done for profit only and are not dependable anymore. Take care everyone.

I don't know if I agree with the idea that grading is not dependable. Subjective, yes. It's like changing the oil and fluids in your car. Do you take it in to your mechanic every 5000 miles or 6 months for a full work up? Some people do. If you drive a $70000 Mercedes, then maybe the precautions are worth it. If you own a $5000 used Toyota, then you need to learn how to check your fluid levels yourself and do basic tasks like tire rotation.

If you are buying a $1000 silver dollar without an authenticated slab, then your grading skills had better be on par with a PCGS grader. If you are sending in a $20 coin for authentication, that same company is going to take your money for the work, the same way that most mechanics will take a car that doesn't need a oil change / filter / tire rotation and do the work for your money. You chose to pay them for a service, and they performed the service in good faith.

If you want to do a good service to the community in exchange for their help, you might enlighten us to how you decided that coin might need grading. The experienced members here (which does not include me) often wonder why people are so keen on grading these days.

I would like to think you all for the valuable information it's appreciated
