macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5830 Posts	Posted 01/25/2011 5:42 pm I bought this one from ebay store seller ID: Mikes Vams, it is listed in the CherryPickers Guide as "FS-1019452-511", trying and testing out my microscope camera to get good pictures. I am unable to get the full image of the coin. I also have a hard time discerning it even though it has markers that look similar to the guide. This one I have is in a later die stage, and the guide mentioned that it could possibly be die crack instead. I haven't run across any TPG listing one yet either, of course I don't subscribe to the database to know if there's any certify. Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5830 Posts	Posted 01/25/2011 6:02 pm I need to learn how to adjust and focus to get the full image first. Lighting is another issue and plus more, its an inexpensive microscope camera with a adjustable stand, software is only for Windows. Report this Post to the Staff
arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 01/25/2011 6:46 pm I tend to think this one is too diffecult to see and could only be die marks or scratches. I bought one off of ebay about a year ago and couldn't see any reason for this to be considered a true variety. I sent mine to CONECA and they do not and will not recongize it. It is not required for the PCGS Mercury dime Variety Set, and they will not attribute it. I don't know if NGC or ANACS will attribute, but you could always call and ask. Nice micro work.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/26/2011 1:30 pm I have a feling that in order to confirm this one you are going to have to find an early die state MS coin. Then if it confirms you will have to find clear die markers that will allow the identification in lower grades. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5830 Posts	Posted 01/26/2011 2:21 pm I agree! But I would need to find one better than the example shown in the guide, this will be definitely tough. Report this Post to the Staff
