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!

From these close up pics, I would say 98%, but maybe 60% if I was using a 10x loupe.

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.

Close but not FB. Strong for a '45.

It looks like a really nice 63 that is 90% FSB. For an inexpensive Merc dime that is a nice one to have.

That is a nice coin. I would agree, nearly full bands.

Nice looking Mercury dime! I would place it between MS 60-64. 90%

Looks a little nicer than 63, but no FB.

technically it would be a 64 taking marks into consideration l'm betting they netted it down for luster. MS63 No FSB
