Nice... it's been about three years since I've picked up a merc in change. Of course, it had heavy wear. Yours looks like it's been in collection or some oldtimer's piggy bank for a long time.
I'm thinking the same thing. Not a lot of wear on it, I'm thinking maybe a 63, possible 64, but a strong 63 none the less. Bands look full to me as well.
Yep, somebody lost part of their collection, looks like. I think that one was too nice to have been in a piggybank.
Wow, that is awesome to find in change! I'd say it's AU and not FB (the top band's seperation line is broken), but still very nice find.
Thank you. It's the only one in my collection right now. It's a series I've been looking at starting next after I finish a Franklin set. Currently looking for a 57D 64 FBL, then I will have 56-63, and just need 48D to 55S. Already have a 48 MS64 FBL and a 53D MS64.
