I only see a very few small marks on the coin so I have no doubt it is MS66. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 12:13 pm I prefer the iridescent (rainbow) toning myself. I have a similar Merc with the darkened toning (FSB), which I am probably going to trade off on another. To each their own! If you like it, that is what matters!

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 8:29 pm shocker, absolutely NOT. FSB is a designation like full bell lines on Frankies or full steps on a Jefferson. The MS grade stands aside from the FSB designation. Very few obvious scratches, great luster, yeah MS66. Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 12:32 am I like the way the toning highlights the head on the obverse. I prefer my silver coins to have at least some color to them instead of being completely blast white. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder if a Dremel with a cutting saw blade could make those bands clearer? Why then we could all say FSB's. Never could figure out why the middle ones get worn first. I would think the top and/or bottom's would be the first to get worn. Report this Post to the Staff
