1943 D Mercury

Here is another FSB Mercury I picked up this week!
I picked it up on that "awful" ebay. Gee, I know it is not slabbed, but for $7.15 =$1.50 shipping, I just hoped I wouldn't get "burned" like we are always being "warned" about. It was a toss up betwenn this coin and a PCGS ms64(no FSB) for $44.50. Hmmmmmm............

Mercury's

It looks to Au58 -Ms-62.nice buy!!!

 

I'd go AU on it, regardless, for the money I'd have grabbed it, nice NewP!

 

lol

 

I like her. I think I see a NICE big die crack going through the neck all the way to the rim. I would say MS on it, I dont see any wear at all. :thumb:

 

I think the coin was cleaned it looks polished

Check you mint mark there is a listing for D/north listed in the Cherrypicker Guide

 

What makes you say that? It looks original to me.

The surfaces look "flat" to me, but that could be just the lighting.

 

Nice Mercury!! Nice grab for the price!

 

I am assuming the lack of luster is from your picture. Looks MS 65 or better to me! Nice buy!!!

 

I also think the surface looks to flat to be MS even though details a very nice, yet I agree it could be the camera angle. There are also some less then appealing contact marks on the obverse and a bad nick on the axe of the reverse.

But don't let what I've said disturb you, your coin is quite nice and I would be proud to have it. I personally think you did very good.

Here's a 43-P MS to compare to. I'd give mine a 64.

 

Is that full split bands?

 

Yes it is.
