Beauty of a coin. I also like the fact that there is no denomination on either side.

I'll say AU55. The dark streak on the reverse is the only real detractor, IMO. Otherwise a very nice example.

this is pretty impressive for an early dime.
I'm going to go with AU55 or MS62. I'm leaning toward the MS side

interesting history on the early dimes

In the early 19th century, U.S. Mint operations were still developing, and striking pressure was adjusted manually. Test strikes were sometimes made at reduced pressure to find the correct setting. If the pressure was too low, the dies would leave parallel lines on the coin. This was common on early silver coins, including half dollars and dimes, before standardized press calibration became routine. I'm pretty certain this is what we see on the obv across the lower hair.

Also the 1796-1807 Draped Bust dimes were minted in the Mint's formative years, and many examples show mint-caused adjustment marks. I'm thinking this what occurred on the rev rim from K3-K6

here is my 4 berry not quite the quite of this one
