What MS60 means
A 1926 Mercury dime with no mint mark in Mint State (MS-60) has no wear at all and is graded at the bottom of mint state for everything else: the open fields of Liberty’s cheek and the neck below the cap carry heavy contact marks from the mint bag, the lustre is dull or broken, and the coin has little eye appeal. Nothing about it circulated; everything about it was handled.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade MS-60. They are the same grade and the same 1926 Mercury dime with no mint mark.
