I have found nearly 200 Mercuries but this one takes the prize. The details of obverse and reverse are very good - a little bit worn on "States" of reverse.
Certainly a lot nicer than the average mercs one finds these days, but it isn't MS. IMHO it is a nice VF. The hair braid shows signs of wear as do the feathers. On the reverse both the horizontal and diagonal bands show a fair amount of wear.
