HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/27/2025 6:45 pm NGC has this merc at MS63. I would like to hear some thoughts on what % of FB this coin could have. Thanks for all opinions! Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5829 Posts	Posted 01/27/2025 7:21 pm From these close up pics, I would say 98%, but maybe 60% if I was using a 10x loupe. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/27/2025 9:35 pm I am OK with MS-63. Not quite FSB. For FullySB, the high points of the bands should be curved, like the shape of the top of an old style loaf of bread, with a strong, unbroken groove between them. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/28/2025 5:02 pm It looks like a really nice 63 that is 90% FSB. For an inexpensive Merc dime that is a nice one to have. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 01/28/2025 6:10 pm That is a nice coin. I would agree, nearly full bands. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 7:32 pm Looks a little nicer than 63, but no FB. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 02/01/2025 2:58 pm technically it would be a 64 taking marks into consideration l'm betting they netted it down for luster. MS63 No FSB Report this Post to the Staff
