What do you think ICG graded this Mercury Dime?

I bought this ICG graded Mercury Dime on eBay in the last week. What do you think they graded it? Also, what do you think PCGS / NGC would grade it?

I wanted to insert a spoiler thing with ICG's grade, but I couldn't find where to do that. How do you do that?

Here are pictures of the coin under 2 different lighting conditions.

I'll guess all three would give it 66FB.

 

It could be the photographs but it looks proof to me.

 

nix that. There is no 43 proof. The answer is that I can not tell from those images, I suppose because they have been heavily edited.

 

I would guess 65FB. TC

 

What do you mean by these pictures being heavily edited, mrbrklyn?

By the way, ICG gave it a 67FB, lol.

 

I'll guess it has killer luster?

 

You know, it is a very well struck dime and appears to have nice luster. But a 67? lol
It has spotting and rubs all throughout the fields, and especially on the reverse.
I have a feeling the spotting was from a quick dip as well, or water spots from a rinse.
A 65 maybe.

 

ICG: MS68FB
PCGS: MS66FB
NGC: MS66FB
Me: MS65FB

 

Killer luster...works with all the TPG's, 67FB.

 

Even if they did, Denver didn't.

 

Im thinking 66FB. I had a 1945 Micro-S in an ICG MS65FB holder. I cracked it out, sent it to NCS, had it conserved, then graded by NGC. It came back MS66FB.

That one better than the following one.
The ICG bad.
PF, many of which are now doing a lot on EBAY.

 

I think ICG grades coins higher than what they should be. But this 1943-D Mercury is a beatiful coin and I grade it as MS68 FB.
