Here's my latest coin, a beautiful Mercury Dime, nice and brilliant with a good strike. Almost as interesting is the holder it comes in. The holder is a two part holder, with no PCGS on the tag. From what I gather, it's a Generation 2.1 holder from a 3 month period (October-December 1989). So the earliest OGH from PCGS I've got to date....not counting the rattlers.
Not weird, it's the OGH. Lots of collectors pay more for those because there is a general belief they are undergraded for the modern grading standards, lot of resubmissions come from those.
Everybody can see that’s at the least two grades better. I’d keep it in the old slab. If you want to, just leave a note with it, don’t sell below MS66 money. These in these slabs are upgrades on a hoof. It’s just an expression we’ve got around the barn.
I was thinking MS-65 or 66 when I first saw. It's unusual to find one that is as sharply struck as that one is.
