1943 Mercury Dime: Decent Condition?

Came across this in a box of coins I purchased at a flea market. Seems like a pretty good find in my opinion..AU or MS?
Thanks in advance for all of your opinions.

au55? that's my guess, new to grading mercury dimes so I am probably off.

 

It almost looks like some doubling on the date?

 

How much did you pay for it? Hopefully not much over melt. I would guess the grade to be around AU50-55 however I am not a dime expert so I could be off

 

Appears to be machine doubling damage. Common for this series in the 40s.

AU, distracting, possibly damaging, mark on merc's cheek, lots of wear, possible machine doubling. Worth melt.

 

Posssible a die break/die indent, from between a an t of states on reverse. Nice coin, I would keep it.

 

nice find au 53 dont attempt to clean it use a cotton swab recheck the date theres doubling there

 

Melt only? Even with FB? Seems unlikely, but ok.

 

However, your coin does not have FB.

Again, worth melt.

2nd photo there a trace of wear on middle band Au-58 but still a very nice Mercury:thumb:
