Hone your grading skills: Merc Dimes

I got a few Merc Dimes from Teletrade with one of those $50 coupons...

See how good you do against the TPG's... I'll post the assigned grades in a few days...

Streaking on the Obv. is on the holder...
Black dot on the lower diagonal band on the rev. is too...

 

Im gonna guess MS64. I just noticed a few marks. Maybe 63. Nice dimes!

 

1- MS63 maybe 64 on a good day
2 -MS66
3 - MS62

 

1 - Ms64
2- -

 

Not that I know what I am doing, but;

1 - 66 FB
2 - 67 FB
3 - 67

 

63,64,65 1st 2 with full bands is my guess

 

63,64,64

 

MS-63 all three. Full bands on the first 2. Last coin weakly struck.

Nice Mercs all three!!

 

I'll go with about -62, -62 -62 only. Most wouldn't take off anything for the rotated reverse since probably 20 to 25% of all Mercury Dimes have rotated reverses. Since these are the more common rotated to the left, I'll still go with the -62 area. And if they were the rotated to the right variety, I'd go a little less. All nice details though.

 

63,64,64

 

How about - very nice group of coins.

 

Your response confuses me, what does a rotated die have to do with the condition?

 

#1: MS-66 FSB

#2: MS-64 FSB

#3: MS-65

Nice coins

Here are the 3 slabs... Everybody was in the ballpark, A few of you were very close...

The 2 FB coins were in a single auction lot, but the title of the listing was only one of the coins (It may have even been the 64FB). I'm guessing many people skipped over the lot due to the title, because I got it for less than what 2 individual 64FB/65FB have generally been going for...
