[gonnamissme]

just got this back from ngc....russet tone almost covering entire reverse:

Your picture taking ability will improve.

 

I'd guess MS 65 FSB based upon the pictures provided.

 

I like unusual toning like that type here.

 

 

Nice coin!!!

Based on those pictures, I'd call it a distinctly unattractive 65 with terminal toning, and I wouldn't touch it.

 

With different pictures, that opinion may change.

Don't worry about Physicsfan3.14.... He really doesn't mean to be as offensive as his reply could make it seem.... He is just passionate;)

 

As far as my guess, I don't know, merc dimes IMO are especially hard to grade based on pics...

 

I will say MS66

no offense taken....brutal honesty is always welcome with me

 

it's actually in the first cycle of toning on both sides, in the russet>burgundy (on the very edge, hard to see unless its in your hand) range on the reverse, with gold>amber on the front...

Well, not to proclaim to be the expert like many here will, but as far as the toning goes.... That is definitely not the first cycle of toning on the reverse... maybe on the obverse but definitely not the reverse. No way..... I don't neccesarily think its terminal like someone else mentioned either, but its definitely not first cycle.
