tfred could be right
Looks to be rotated approx. 29 degrees to 32 degrees.
The question is more important than the answer

Here is a very similar 1940 that just sold for $3.33 on eBay. 261060295441. Not as nice but I am not sure the uptick from VG to your grade is that important to a rotation collector. I think it would have to be MS to really make a big difference.

I would say it was cleaned/polished at one point. There are minor hairline scratches on both the obv and rev.

George is also missing alot of hair details ( probably from the cleaning..but could be just from circulating )

IMO...definately not AU ( but it is a nice addition to any album being built from circulation coins )

Thanks Imo, And yes it was Polished Slightly before Pictures with a Swab and warm water.

When I clean some coins, I use a Swab, warm water, Gently clean in circular motion for 5 seconds, then I use other end of swab to Gently dry the coins. I NEVER use pressure when cleaning coins.

I hope im doing it right lol.. it got pretty Shiny ;) lol

you are doing a fine job if your intention is to have bright shiney coins in your collection.

Alot of collectors prefer not to clean/polish their coins as they want to keep them "as natural as possible". Some collectors will even say a coin has lost some value when you clean it as any history it has gained was wiped away. ( If your coin is suffering from that green stuff that builds up over time then clean clean clean I say! If the dirt/residue is doing more damage than a slight clean would do..then clean it! )

Personally I don't clean any of my coins in fear of adding more scratches or even devaluing the coin.

To each, his own. As I always say. ( whatever floats your boat )

My 2012 charlton coin guide lists this dime at approx $1.60 buying price in VG condition..

I would say yours is around $2.50 - $3

( any coin dealer will only offer you the melt value for this )

Most local coin stores should sell them. I get my 2x2s from GateWest Coin and Stamp in Winnipeg, MB. Costs me $3 for a pack of 100.
