echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/21/2010 1:37 pm This coin has some excellent luster, but there are signs of wear on the hair and center band. I'd grade it at AU-55, but it could slide to AU-58 because of the luster. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 03/21/2010 2:23 pm I would assign a 55 also. Chance Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/22/2010 1:43 pm David Lange's comment on 1939: Quote: The rarity of fully struck coins is emphasized by the low percentage of certified examples designated as FB. In all other respects, however, Mint State 1939(P) dimes typically are quite attractive coins. There are very few marks on this nice coin...if it circulated it lived a sheltered life. AU-58 or MS-66.

bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 03/22/2010 2:24 pm Very attractive coin, hard to tell however from the pictures if there are breaks in the luster on both the hair on the obv and the bands on the rev. If there are AU-58, if there aren't MS-65. I lean towards the 65 mark just because I've seen other coins of this quality without fully struck up middles. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 03/23/2010 07:23 am I agree AU-55 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/23/2010 10:39 am IMO, the fields are just too perfect for this coin to have seen any circulation and detail weakness appears to be from strike and not wear. I would call it MS-65 with a shot at 66, and still a relatively inexpensive coin even in those gem grades. Report this Post to the Staff
