vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 04:49 am I wish this had a "D"! Some russet tone along peripheries. The "blue" on her neck and face is actually russet toning. Why it came out that way in the photo is What do you think? swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 07/01/2010 04:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 09:19 am VERY NICE!! A "D" would surely put groceries on the table for a while. Looks like an easy 63 and maybe higher. I have a great fondness for the key date mercuries. I recently saw a very nice AU 42/41. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 10:08 am Even better FSB! Hairlines scratches keeps it from going higher than MS 64. Correction: Picture enlarged several hundred times, and I would say this can be MS 65 FSB. Edited by macmercury 07/01/2010 10:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 10:13 am Is it just me but this coin appears to have wear on the front edge of the wing and the middle band on the fasces? Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 11:01 am Light circulation before pulling out, still a strong strike normal for the first year. Also may have been lightly cleaned a while back, but I can't say from images. Report this Post to the Staff
stelios Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 5:30 pm So is it an uncirculated coin with light circulation? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 5:52 pm I have graded this Merc AU58. There is light wear as Jim has pointed out on edge of the wing and very light on the fasces. It is original and uncleaned with full luster. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 6:03 pm AU-58 FB. The chatter on the obverse gave it away. It probably would be market graded MS-62 FB though. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 6:46 pm I agree with AU-58. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
