<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 654702, member: 19855&quot;]Gasp, gasp, gasp...yes, I&#039;m still hyperventilating at the thought. My coin dealer, who I&#039;ve known for several years, showed me Saturday a 1928 S MS 66 Merc dime with FSB graded by PCGS. He said that if I really wanted it, I could put it in lay-way, pay on it as I go. Naturally, he encouraged me to let him know as soon as possible for the coin may not be there for long. The coin is very attractive, and I must admit, I am very tempted. I have only three coins left in my Merc collection of at least F, being naturally the &#039;16 D and the 42/1 varieties. Seeing as these probably won&#039;t be in my budget, I thought why not end the series with an example of perfection with a graded, FSB dime? Here&#039;s the problem though, I cannot for the life of me find the grading standards of the many popular coin companies out there in regards to Merc dimes. I checked PCGS, CAC, NGC, and ANACS without much avail. My concern is that each company may grade the dimes differently...may create a discrepencies in grade. Is this worry justifiable, or am I just being over precautious with my first officially graded coin? Is there a place where I can find common scheme that these graders use to grade the Merc Dimes? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Brad</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>P.S. Curious about my next series? I&#039;m thinking either the TRADITIONAL Washington Quarter or the Ben Half...haven&#039;t decided yet...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
