PCGS states that in order for the 1916 to get the FH designation, all intended detail must be present. The design change was to the head itself....
Ruben, The reason for the different standard is that there was a slight modification done to the design, but not enough to call it a different...
If I get this coin for MS66 money I will be absolutely amazed and extremely happy. My guess is that it will go at least 20% over wholesale price....
This coin might get an MS63. See photo of grader below currently employed at ACG. [IMG] The joke is still funny IMO.
Rusty, You just made me feel really bad. I made a post earlier this week about the FH designation on SLQ's. I noted that there are different...
I agree with Doug and think the coin is uncirculated with a typical weak O mint strike. However, I disagree about the grade. I think this coin...

Here is a photo that is a little smaller in size. Sometimes the large photos magnify the abrasions on the coin. [IMG] BTW, If anyone can...
I think I will have to look at the PCGS populations for these coins. They might have a drastic affect on the prices depending on the populations.

ACG grader below--they hired him after NNC fired him for grading too conservatively. Think his name is Chip. [IMG]
Jim, There are a few things about that coin that concern me. First, the rims are almost black which is not very attractive and can be an...
Peter, Check out this Heritage auction for a 1938 PCGS MS66 rainbow toned Mercury Dime. My guess is that this coin will sell for $40-$55. Very...
Peter, I am happy to hear that you like toned coins and have a few suggestions if you are looking to venture into the toned coin market. It...
