The 1870 NFLD dime always has a weak reverse. I've never seen a really strong one. I've owned some ICCS VG-10 1870 pieces before with most of the reverse illegible. Hard to grade and this is why this one is here!

This type of wear pattern is due to a convex reverse.

And 1870 certainly has the most extreme of that reverse type for the series. So DBM looking at the ICCS example from ebay, I think the obverse on my coin is noticeably better but the reverse is just a little weaker. What do you think? |

I think it would grade VF-20. Weak reverses are common in this series.

Thanks, DBM! I think this one has a lot more hair detail but the plastic ICCS cover can hide so much in a picture.

Any more opinions on this one? I know there are some veteran NFLD collectors on here. Do they have a take on the grade?

Thanks for the input, fredor! I know this one will go F-15 minimum for sure. But being a dreamer I like to think....hmmmm, maybe it just might...who knows...

Come on, kitkat. This one is far better. I have a VG-10 ICCS Victorian NFLD dime here and there's no comparison. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!

@ tamarin. If I were to ask for opinions on a grade of a coin and someone offered a grade below what I would expect, hope, or even below what others had graded it take it for what it is.....an opinion. You asked for it. If you don't agree thats fine, but don't insult the person grading it with rude remarks like "I hope you have a better day tomorrow".
If you guys are friends and it is just friendly razing between you, I appologize, as it is hard to tell sarcasm when it is being typed. Otherwise your comment seems rude to me.

I've been here long enough to know kitkat is one of the better participants on NFLD coinage. Sorry, I think she was having a bad day. There is absolutely no way this coin grades below a Fine. And I just had to point that out, knowing she knows this series well. If that makes me a bad person, I guess I am.
