1945 Merc BU

How would you grade this? I give it a 65 but I could be off.

I think it would go higher 66 maybe??? the fields look very clean only one area on the obv. I see a mark ....the rev looks to be very clean full bands, nice coin. I would send this one in for grading.

 

Okay there is no way there is one mark on that coin! If there is... WOW
I say 65 might be about right, but with those pics, I don't know if we could accurately grade it.
Those pictures are great! But in order to grade it, I think we might need a different angle to see some more marks, if any!
MS65++

 

what is the mark or shadow from the I in Liberty and her nose? That is what I was referring to. as for the rest of the coin like I said 66 or better

 

The only one I can find is a minor one by the nose so I think the pictures show it correctly.

 

WOW! This is one of the nicest looking Mercs I've seen!
66-67, maybe a 68???
IDK, but this is one sweet coin, and I think you have a 65 at the very least :thumb:

 

Definitely not a 68 with a mark in the field or even a 67 IMO, but 66 is for sure a possiblity. Guess what I got it for?

 

Oh wait no I think I can make out a smaller tick on the chin :kewl: :smile

 

Hard to tell from the pics but looks very similar to my 66 (shown here http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t59727/ ) I'd say you are correct, it seems to be 65-66.

 

Except that yours has an exceptional strike and no visible marks. Now I'm going back to my original grade of 65.

 

65 sounds about right, but can't really tell with those small pics.

 

Guess what I got it for? Ok tell us? how much???? I said it was a 66 or better my first reply...it that a shadow on the obv. field between the I and nose?

 

It looks as if there are hits on the lower of the two diagonal bands on the reverse faces. Either way, those images do not give us a very good look at the surfaces, including the all-important face of Ms. Liberty. I'm guessing you paid about $5. I think it's important to keep in mind that it's a very common coin, and that even a certified MS66 is only worth about $20.

 

I think you're in the ballpark. A 66 wouldn't surprise me, the surfaces look that clean and reflective. Bigger pics showing better detail and truer color (lose that lime green tint) needed to go any further than that.

 

Wow nice right on!

 

You seem to be very patient, and get good deals on the coins you buy
Congrats on the $5 Purchase, because it was worth it

 

Thanks dude. I get the best deals at small shows. I hadn't bought any coins for a month or more, and then just this week I spent $50 on coins but total value of them is probably $75 or $80 so I think I did well! :hail:

 

These better?

 

WOW! Much Better indeed! Good Job!

 

Thanks man!
