<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 627834, member: 13650&quot;]Hey guys.&nbsp; I just got in a PCGS 5th gen. slab, MS66FB Mercury dime.&nbsp; It&#039;s an extremely nice coin.&nbsp; The obverse field in front of the face is perfect, nice grainy luster.&nbsp; The right side field though, behind the head has some really weird stuff going on.&nbsp; In the pic, I thought it was on the holder.&nbsp;&nbsp; But it&#039;s actually on the coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; From the T, there&#039;s a small area that arches out, goes past the Y and through the middle of the W (designers initial) and the area goes to the rim.&nbsp;&nbsp; This patch is more mirror like than the rest of the field.&nbsp;&nbsp; But it also has some sort of fine stains like various fine, gray lines and specs.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it&#039;s from a fingerprint because the lines are not equal like a finger print.&nbsp; It just looks like stains in the metal.&nbsp; You can see them better at a 45 degree angle than straight on.&nbsp; It looks like some are in the narrow field right behind the wing as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; What would cause this?&nbsp;&nbsp; Grease on the die maybe?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
