Is this Merc an AU or BU?

Hey all,

I'm definitely not a connoisseur of Dimes, so wanted a Merc collector's opinion on this one. I happened to win this 1941 Mercury Dime (supposedly FB, I've been told), and was wondering what the general grade this one would get. Is it AU or BU (and if BU, an estimated grade would be nice as well )?

On a side note, I apologize for the bad quality of pictures. Don't quite know how to take pictures of "white" coins yet.

Thanks!

phew!! this is a tough one...However if I was a third party grader I would give it somewhere in between an MS-60 and MS-63

 

I'd say 63, maybe FB.

Try propping the coin/2x2 up vertically with something and setting the camera down when you take the picture, that should help get a clearer shot.

 

I'll go with that. doesn't look very nicked up. just hard from the pics to tell
