    1944 Mercury Dime

    the obverse is very nice and the reverse has the bands and all the lines on the fascias very visible. To send this off to get graded, will pcgs tell me it's damaged? Or will it be considered as a regular coin? Seriously, this is a nice looking coin.
    The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, pull back the curtains, move the table and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.

    Re: 1944 Mercury Dime

    They'll probably tell you it was dug/cleaned. . . microscopic hairline scratches from dirt. . . no matter HOW careful you are in recovering a coin from the ground, there will always be SOME hairline scratches on the coin. Plus, in the ground, it will have lost it's original luster/patina in the acidic soil conditions.

    In Yeoman's 2008 Red Book, a 1944 in MS-65 is only $25. . . it will cost almost as much to have it graded. . . not worth it.

    I'm glad you found it though

    Is this a dug coin? Can you post a picture?
