Outta the 75 or so Mercury dimes I went through the other day, this one was by far the prettiest. Looks like it just came out a roll... :)

Whatcha think?

What I have found with wartime FSB Mercurys is that the obverse in most cases is weaker then the obverse. I my experience, I have yet to find a really sharply struck obverse in this period that matches the reverse in quality of strike.

What I would really like to see is an image of what an MS65 fully struck up, really looks like (any date).

Yes a really nice coin. Can't see the FSB's on the photo.
