I Palindrome I Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 05/11/2007 12:23 am VF-35 or XF-40. The wear of the hair above the eye and at the top of the eagle's wings make me lean more towards VF-35, but regardless, it's a very nice-looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff
okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 05/11/2007 09:27 am Looks VF-20 to me overall, with the obverse just a tad stronger. Strange in that the reverse is almost always the stronger side. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/12/2007 6:07 pm Look at the cap details and the hair details around the face, because this coin could edge into EF40. The pic is grainy so I can't be 100%. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim M. Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 01:38 am At least a VF-30. Nice piece, I love the Capped Bust series. ~Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 06:26 am Sorry, but I see a little too much wear for a VF grade, though it's close. I'd call it F15. The eagle's head, wings, and talons show some pretty significant wear. Very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 6:31 pm Susan, too much detail for an F-12 according to the photograde book. It has a complete liberty, cap details, hair details. I just don't see it as low as F-12, but I have been wrong before. I wouldn't go lower than VF30. Report this Post to the Staff
Rigoletto Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 6:38 pm I've seen dealers on ebay list that as XF, I go with VF+ Report this Post to the Staff
Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 7:51 pm I think I would concur with the VF-35. Nice Dime! Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 8:24 pm VF30 (obverse looks almost XF though) Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 8:31 pm Thanks all for your opinions so far. Based on what you say, I think the seller was fair in his assessment and pricing. Report this Post to the Staff
