I have this 1941 Mercury Dime and am wondering what grade it will most likely get.

Impossible to say without clear, cropped, images of the entire coin. Front and back. From what I can see in the pics it appears to be lightly circulated, if true, you're looking at a max of AU 58, but I suspect it'll be lower if better images are provided. (shrug)

Your photos have too much contrast and that hides detail. If you post full coin photos of both sides, plus reduce the contrast, you'll get better suggestions. (Also, don't mix light sources -- that's what produced the orange color on Liberty's mouth.)

From the top photo, the arrow points to what might be abrasion....but hard to tell.

I second that. You need to tone down the contrast big time. Or are you from Texas? (I’ve seen AT LEAST three Texas dealers who routinely blow up the contrast on their photos.)
