JMW65 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 2:42 pm I have an 1893 RT Dime. My understanding is there is a #5 obverse and a #6 obverse and depending on which one effects the value. What obverse do I have? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 4:27 pm Hard to see any detail with that picture but as there is only one known RT3 with a T5 obverse, I would make a pretty safe guess that it is a T6 Obverse. As wildflower AB says, get it certified. Too valuable a coin to have any doubt about. Edited by JimmyD 06/15/2016 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 10:42 pm If you live in the states and are more familiar with PCGS or NGC, those are both well respected and recognized companies for grading Canadian coins. Many Canadians prefer ICCS, but if you are just sending one coin, it might not be worth the trouble learning the process of submissions. On the other hand you don't need a membership to submit to ICCS, as you do with PCGS or NGC. Theres pros and cons of both - no "right answer" for a 3rd party grading company for Canadian coins Also if you're just curious what it grades at, you can post closeup pictures on the Canadian Grading sub-forum, and we can help grade it for you.
