<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stang1968, post: 1371940, member: 35684&quot;]I&#039;m skimming the other&#039;s posts so forgive me if I am repeating what others have said (and I missed), but to clarify what you see in your redbook- There are two classifications for uncirculated mercury dimes- MS and MSFB. MS is simply mint state, meaning uncirculated. Mercury dimes did not strike up completely on the reverse; the separation lines on the band across the faces usually is not clearly defined. Whne the line is clear, crisp, and sharp, that dime is called MSFB.</p><p>MS and MSFB do not apply to circulated coins.</p><p>Also, 1945 MSFB dimes carry a substantial premium because so many of the dimes were poorly struck and therefore just MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
