I was digging through some unfiled misc. coins and ran across this dime I had bought years ago in a mixed lot of coins. Looks to have been harshly cleaned but was curious of the grade short of the cleaning. After looking up some facts, it would appear to be the most common of this series too with 1835 being the most populus.   -makecents-

She has managed to have some decent circulation cameo, which may indicate older cleaning.  I am between G and VG here. |

Thanks, jbuck. Yeah, I was thinking the same about the circulated cameo look. I like the soft silver high points with the darker background on the circulated silver coins, I've had some Morgans over the years that had a similar look.

Good to VG details, cleaned. Still a nice coin.  Errers and Varietys.

f12 obverse, vg8 reverse, vg10 net. Could straight grade in spite of the obverse wipe marks which seem minor especially at this grade.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Low end VG. Has character--a good thing.

I'm with NS, net VG10
as for the surfaces, looking close at those hairlines they appear to be brighter than the toning under them leading me to believe that it had a a real old cleaning, re-toned and the those swipe marks occurred post cleaning. this would yield a details designation if thats the case

This would be a good candidate as a pocket piece for a little while to remove the "most recent" cleaning without denigrating the overall grade itself "VG". Just a thought?  What could go wrong? smat |
