<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2467447, member: 69760&quot;]I recently purchased this 1942-P Mercury dime and after carefully placing it in a Quadrum capsule, I noticed that the reverse is rotated by a little bit. The obverse appears to be straight (i.e. the letters/words appear to be parallel with the bottom/top edges of the Quadrum), while the reverse looks as if it&#039;ll remain rotated even if the obverse&#039;s misalignment is slightly corrected. I&#039;m confident that it is a rotated die, but just to make sure while I ask my next question...</p><p><br /></p><p>And, do you think this qualifies as an FSB? The central bands appear to have a straight indentation, but there looks to be some bag marks around it - I&#039;m unsure if the center line is interrupted. As a comparison, I show the other bands to see how well the central bands are split (the center bands aren&#039;t as good, but it&#039;s not merged or completely interrupted - somewhere in the middle).</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, there&#039;s also a very subtle rainbow bullseye toning on the reverse near the rim, while the center area has a solid color, which adds a nice touch and my photos don&#039;t do the coin justice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090097_zpszkkncoqs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090098_zpskgmcgrh1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090099_zps5xvupajh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090100_zpsbqma6z97.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090107_zpsvgzv1pqn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
