1944 D Mercury Dime, you vs PCGS

The OP photos are a year old. I took these a couple minutes ago. They better represent the coin.

I will reveal the grade tomorrow!

66 FB on the holder is my guess

 

That reinforces my opinion of the grade, MS67 FB

 

Yep, still 67 FB for me, too.

 

I'll guess PCGS gave it a 65 FB.

 

66FB

 

The original image sure fooled me, I'll go 67FB

 

Yoo hoo! Helloooooooooooo! It's tomorrow. What is taking so long?

I sent this one in myself. I decided it wasn’t worth the regrade attempt. It will stay in my collection as an educational tool.

 

THAT SUCKS! BOO! HISS!

Send her off to CAC for the fun of it.

Very nice coin. Don’t ever sell it. You could end up being one of those guys who see’s it later in a 67+/68 slab.

 

I need to put my sunglasses on.

Penalized for no toning?

 

What a precedent that would set if true

 

So we have a toned 1938-S Mercury with at least an early stage of corrosion and questionable split bands grading (MS 68+ FS CAC selling for north of $300,000 and this blazing uncorroded Mercury gets MS 65 FB. No justice.

 

I can’t help but feel that the coin is rather dull looking...

 

Take a look at photograde. The 66 and 67 examples show, in my opinion, more luster. I find this coin to be dull. No shine. I personally wouldn’t got above 66 on this.

You seem very negative and critical in every grading thread I start. Do you have a vendetta?
