Picture shows either a lot of graininess or possible environmental damage on the coin's surface.

Wear-wise, the coin looks like a low MS quality or perhaps au58.

I realize it's a lazy Sunday afternoon with lots of NFL to watch - but "come on" - 64 people view this post, and ONLY 2 venture to reply with opinion as to grade

OK - let's try a different approach

New thread post with title:

What's wrong with this vintage 1898 Canada dime ?

MS wear. ICCS AU58 based on rim dings. The reverse white spots would be a concern. Not sure what to make of the toning and those spots. Weird lighting perhaps, but the toning itself doesn't look abnormal to me.

Scott..I'm sure that you can give us better pics to work from....Please..!!


I really can't see any sharp details in the fields..because the "one light" source is coming from a very low angle to the coins surface also. ...shooting low from right to left..

It almost looks like the pics were photo-shopped to offer a blurry uneven view of the fields.


With these pics..it would only be a poor guess..as to what's right ..or wrong with this coin.

Scott...Crank out the larger pixels and sharper details..please...




Good one Scott...I was a little late in getting into your 2nd post...another important .. "buyer beware".. photo lesson for us here.......Thanks..

Two different coins.
Obverse is 5cents.
Reverse is not.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
