Is this considered FB? Mercury Dime

I mainly collect gold, so really know nothing of these. I thought this one looked pretty nice though, and got it at a good price. It is a common date. Is this considered FB? Do you think it is MS? Does not appear cleaned to me. Thanks!

Appears so to me. Also appears mint state........

 

Looks FB. Nice coin. How about a obverse shot

 

Looks like a terrific strike to me, easily FB and almost certainly Mint State. It ain't a 1945, is it?

 

Nice. Believe it qualifies.

 

Dead on shot would do us better........

 

Looks like a winner!

 

I'd say yes even with the angled shot . What year is she ?

 

Looks FB and MS to me.

 

I'll try to get an obverse pic here in a bit.

 

Put that baby side by side with the gold bullion crap-sandwich and tell me the mint didn't make a HUGE mistake. Curious if the SLQ will stall due to the mass dissapointment stemming from the merc

 

Confession time. It is not a common date like I said. It is actually a pretty rare year.

 

I already know it won't fit in my album ;-) The reading seems to flare up on that date.

Great piece, congrats!

 

Haha good one! At first I was thinking "wow, that's a really early date" and then it hit me.

 

I was wanting to see how many people caught on that it was a Daniel Carr @dcarr piece. I do not collect Mercury coins, so did not know how good of a restrike it was. Seems like it is pretty good... better than the new gold at least And this was a "bulk handled" one. Since I bought one of each date, I didn't want to pony up the extra cash for the highest grades.

 

Ha! I've been telling everyone to save their $$ on the gold and go with @dcarr's bevy of beauties. Better ROI, better craftsmanship, an actual work of art as opposed to a pos moneygrab and I just unknowingly compared his work to the gold merc. Gotta love it. You had us all fooled J!

Now, I can't wait for dan to overstrike the golds. Hope he used family to grab 50+ or so

 

I really hope he does some gold as well, I would be a buyer

 

You bought all 3 of each date set or just 1 coin from each date set?

I got the 1922 set. Wanted to get the 1915 set but the funds weren't there plus I got 2 owls. Had to get the owls, it was a MUST of coarse. I was thinking the 22 would turn out to be the most popular in the future.

 

I bought each coin in every date in the lower grade, plus some owls. I stupidly sold one for $200 to someone on another forum, and now see them advertised for over $300, haha.
