2015-P Roosevelt Dime For Grading

theres no way a 9 year old coin will wear like that.

AG04
Looks like silver!

its not scientific theory its an opinion based on 60yrs of experience looking at and handling coins. you tell me how a coin thats 9 yrs old comes to look like this unless some type of outside influence was administered. IMO there is no way a coin in a pocket or from just handling can wear like that in that short of time. i'll stick with my opinion until you prove me wrong with a plausible reason how it occurred

It's only been 8 1/2 years

As I said here http://goccf.com/t/470518&whichpage=2#4140358

"Uneducated post for the sake of post count fluffing numbers are detrimental to the hobby as new members who may not know any better may misinterpret fake news posts by said post count fluffers as "truth" due to the fake / alleged legitimate post count numbers under their ID name."

And this is a prime example where other "uneducated" of "feel the need to jump on the bandwagon" members feel free to post similar misinformational posts because someone who has more "post count fluff" numbers than them must "know" about what they are talking about and take that number at face value wihtout actually looking at that member actual post for the value of the content which is mainly piggy backing on other educated members input and such as "I agree" "Looks good to me" "I agree"

Some people listen and learn.

Others feel the need to hear themselves talk.

To reply to your original post:

I think it's a great choice for a pocket piece... no numismatic value!
As to grade, I am admittedly not good at grading, but I'll agree with E&V here and say "About Good".

I in no way intended, nor is it my intent to "ruffle your feathers" so to speak.
I visit this site to learn; and I comment to try to learn more and/or help others when and if possible.



Ah, now I see... you "unwillingly chose" an uncirculated 2015-P Reverse Proof silver dime as a pocket piece.

I obviously missed that among the harangue.

I stand corrected; your pocket piece does indeed have numismatic value, although, in my humble opinion, the numismatic value is limited due to its significant wear.


Do you assert that a coin not intended for circulation has an increased numismatic value if it is has been circulated? I ask only for edification, as this seems counterintuitive to me. It is my understanding that, in general, the value of coins not intended for circulation is usually higher if they are kept in their original, uncirculated state. Circulated examples of such coins typically have lower numismatic value.

Assuming that the intent of your original post was to solicit an honest grading opinion of this coin, it appears that you have received some honest feedback ranging from damaged no grade, to FR2, to at best AG04.

Rereading this thread was helpful to me in that I have learned something new... I was unaware that 2015 reverse proof dimes were issued as part of a series of commemorative coins celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half dollar, which was first introduced in 1964, and that this series included a range of coins, including a special reverse proof version of the silver dime; nor was I aware of their numismatic value and mintage figures. Grading opinions were also helpful, as this is one of many areas in which my experience is lacking.

Thanks for posting.
Cheers.

Cool! Thanks!
I never considered completing sets, or registry set contests, or even lowest grade collections.
I appreciate the kind and helpful reply!
Cheers.
