1935-D Mercury Dime - Did I Do OK On This Purchase

It has Full Split Bands. Hardly any marks in the fields on either side and not much wear. That was one of the things that prompted me to keep going until I got it. Hopefully it is not as dull as it appears in the auction pic though. Am hoping the 2x2 is causing most of this. I really did need it though. I am looking at purchasing a digital camera in the future so that I can post my own pics.

I noticed the split bands also and they are clear and complete in the photo. Depending upon the luster, it could be in Mint State condition and if that's the case...the price is reasonable...if it comes back lacking luster then you may be looking at Extra Fine and then you paid too much. Let us all know how she looks when you get her home. Just from the sellers photo I would say it's going to be a toss up as to EF or low MS.

You are very welcome! I'm just a novice "grader", Metalman is much better than I am. I tend to grade too low or give a lot of room for mis-grading. If he says it's MS by the photos, then go with it and feel good about your purchase. I love Mercs but, most of mine are circulated Fine to EF. Let us know! In any case though, if you needed the coin and you're happy with your purchase - that's the bottom line!!!!!
