    This is a second Mercury Dime that I sent to ANACS for grading. Both cost be about $15 each and was pulled from a stack of ungraded inventory in 2x2's

    Compare it to the last one and tell me what you think.

    ANACS is tough on these, but I say FSB

    comparing both examples has a lesson. I am happy with those pics though :)

    Pics show detail but no luster. I’m gonna guess 63, though, and assume that the lighting setup was bad. No FSB

    The 1943 is an MS66 FSB. But this coin is less FSB to me than the AU58

    I like it. Simple, sweet, and to the point! Minor rim dings, I voted MS-65

    Very nice Mercury dime. I'm guessing ANAC was tough on it, so I'm at 64. I'm also iffy on the FB as the middle band is the deciding factor and if they are hard on it, the mid point looks hit, so no full band. Other TPG may give it FB.

    For a coin I pulled out of the left overs bin, I am happy with it. I love good Mercs.
