1944 D Mercury what would your grade it?

I was going to say 65+ FB until I read your comments.

It was a coin in circulation, so AU? But a TPG would grade it as MS, I'm sure. Shows more faults with TPG IMHO.

I would love to see what it grades if/when you send it in. Let us know.

I placed my raw 44-D in my 7070 set...looks fine there!

 

Fact of life " We all have fathers" the lucky ones have or had a dad....any fool can be a father....it takes a real man to be a dad........and yes I agree you had a great dad....who set the bar high...

 

You know Sal as a member here for over a decade I will advise you on this....the members here are for the most part educated people. They may have college degrees,they have mechanical skills,they all have one thing in common the love for this hobby ,and they are not going to put up with You trolling threads as you have this one twice. They already have put a shot over your bow as a warning.....Im guessing you havent got the message!
Posting copyrighted images ...posting them without permission is illegal. And posting a members coin without permission is well lets just say unacceptable peroid!
Especially when your post are leading others to believe that the specimen in question is yours.
Posting useless dribble, trolling threads, and posting usless information isn't going to win you any friends here!
A word to the wise.......should be sufficient!

 

Looks like a very lustrous coin thanks to worn dies, I would think 66FB is not out of the question. Amazing to have held on to a coin received in payment for so long!

 

Much nicer than any I pulled from circulation which was post 1970. I would have guessed MS64FB before your reveal.

 

I do have a gift...well at least one...I can pretty much recall just about where and when I got most of my coins. I can tell you the price paid, or traded for... the coins of course I did receive from my father.
There is 1 coin however an 1859 3 cent silver that has been MIA for quite some time now.
I can tell you who I purchased from, what I paid and when purchased....what the hell I cant tell you is where it is!
Any other specimen I have I can put my hands on with no problem.

Not only was I able to pick from my paper route collection bag money.....a neighbor serviced juke boxes,and cigarette machines....as well other vending machines. So in 65 the search for silver started buying as much as a 11 year old money could.
My first set completed was my Roosvelt dimes....it would of been my Jeffersons but missing the 50 D and that coin in 65 was a $35.00 coin unc. There were none to be found in circulation. $35 bucks in 65 = to $350.00 today in buying power....I made $2.00 bucks @ week.serving 250 news papers.
