The obverse legend, date, and rim are quite strong and there is a decent amount of detail showing on the ear and leaves. The reverse rim is strong and there is some detail showing in the wreath and corn/grains. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 12:58 am I'd call this borderline VG-8 Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 02:04 am Dimes usually are different than quarters and halves in that the letters are harder to see/get blurred with wear, even if with the same wear level you'd see a few on a quarter. Plus, stronger reverse and a trace of the band. Report this Post to the Staff

rkp Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 9:40 pm I would say definitely a VG-8. The detail in some of the leaves in the reverse is strong in my opinion which pushes it up to VG8. Report this Post to the Staff
