cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 6:07 pm I recently went through a bunch of rolls of junk silver that I've had for a couple of years. I found this little beauty... I don't see any rub anywhere, but I'll be the first to admit that I have practically no experience grading Mercury dimes. What do you think?

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 06/03/2010 08:32 am I see three scratches (that arent bag marks) on the obverse. I see very slight rub on the middle band I see a very slight rub on the lower upward band. Given that it's a Merc, I think it qualifies for AU58 or MS60. Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 06/03/2010 5:21 pm And you had in with some junk silver? shame on you. But really, that is a very nice example for a 44. Most Mercs I have seen were a VF at best if they weren't in a proof or mint set. She sure in one pretty lady. Report this Post to the Staff

I do feel a little guilty for not checking this roll until now! LOL! But I did rescue it. Better late than never! It sure stuck out like a sore thumb in that roll of junk!
