Looks like it to me too :P but I didnt want to claim it until I got some second opinions, but I was curious where people thought the grade fell. Found it in a bag I had set aside months ago and just now got a chance to go through

VF-30. I'd say it's the real deal.

It appears to be the 1942 over 1 D dime. The old time sharpness grade is Fine, but today they are calling coins like this VF-30 or even EF-40.

I have concerns about the surfaces, however. There appears to be a lot of marks and pits, which might indicate an improper cleaning.

I bet the coin looks better in hand. Pic isn't the best and a tad overexposed.

I'll go VF-30. Somehow it looks scrubbed in these pics.

VF-25 details, improperly cleaned.

Despite that, still a nice cherrypick!

Shale did you clean it or is that just the way you found it ? Still worth some good money.

I have never tried to clean a coin in my life, and after the number of awesome coins I've found that look cleaned, I probably never will.

Just found it in this condition.
