65 FSB , Nice one Paddy .

 

A beauty

MS66

 

MS 66 FSB
Nice one

 

Another stunner Paddy. MS-66. That's a strange MM placement; not sure that I've ever seen one so slanted.

 

I bought a set of Mercury dimes minus the 16-d. I would not do it again from online pics. Only if I could examine each and every coin. The MS-66 stunner is not going to come in a set.

 

That is a 66 beaut Paddy. I wish my 38-D Walker looked as good.

You know the mint mark is different , it also looks to be a repunch,however there are none listed as such . VarietyVista list one and this isn't it. I need to post a close up.

 

65....
Is that a swollen set of glands??
Mumps variety or just the image??

 

The image and, if it is the mumps, I know who's getting the doctor bill.

 

I couldn't find much about it either, but this CU thread seems to suggest that it is pretty common for the date. I wonder why it isn't a listed variety. https://forums.collectors.com/messageview.aspx?catid=26&threadid=199475

 

The D is rotated downwards and almost touches one of the leaves.
I was told before the the mint mark shouldn't touch any device on the coin. As if it did it would be considered a misplaced mint mark.

 

65+ and just barely missing FB.

 

Ms-65 ;almost FB

 

Paddy , are those middle bands split , I think they are but it looks like something is covering the pic in the middle . Is that on the coin or slab ?

 

It is graded FSB

 

I like it at 66, no Fb (from your photos - full bands are hard to catch in pictures)

 

I'm at 65 fb

 

I think 65, the nick on the cheek would keep it from a higher grade. I don't think it quite makes FSB

 

Pictures are way too over exposed and pixelated to make an accurate determination from them. There is a spot of blurriness over each of the sets of bands, so I can't tell FSB or not. But you said it graded FSB, any speculation is moot.

My guess is MS-66 FSB.
