<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 976262, member: 15309&quot;]Shane,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never been a fan of Northeast&#039;s photos.&nbsp; Can you please show us your version when you get the coin.&nbsp; I want to know what the colors really look like and whether or not the bands really are non-existent.&nbsp; I have to give Doug credit in this regard.&nbsp; I used to buy coins like this simply due to their outstanding toning.&nbsp; After many lengthy discussions with Doug, I came to the realization that incredible toning is not always a good enough reason to ignore other shortcomings of the coin.&nbsp; Undoubtedly, the most important feature of Mercury dimes are the bands which collectors want fully struck.&nbsp; This coin is almost NB (No Bands) and without the toning, it would probably be unsaleable.&nbsp; IMO, 1944-S Mercury dimes are too common not to insist upon excellence with respect to every element of the grading process, including strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>I reserve the right to change my mind once I see your photographs which are always outstanding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
