My guess was going to be VF-35 but it doesn't sound like that was what it was graded.

Wow, did they give a details grade due to something they think they see...that is what I mean by NGC and their oddball nature...
or it's an XF and that shows you how little I know about grading these regardless of the 15 dates I own...

I received the coin this afternoon and here are a couple of USB microscope images; Looks like a scratch (too straight, not following grain boundaries and you can see the bottom) in the field, and a crack on the rim (jagged)  I did not notice that the upper arrow shaft was incomplete before.

That old scratch shouldn't have hurt the grade (IMHO). Check out this JR-1 that sold last year on Teletrade. It has the telltale incomplete upper arrow shaft. http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot....0&lot=1348#nYour coin is quite nice for the grade. Is there any mint luster showing around the stars? I think it was net-graded 5 points for the scratch or a light cleaning. If there is mint luster present, it may have been net-graded 10 points (and shouldn't have been). |

Nice bust dimes are hard to locate. Same for the quarter. I feel nice examples deserve their premium.

Quarters are SO much harder than any of the bust coins, except the very early draped bust cents.

I think that it is as nice in hand as the images and I am very pleased with this coin;  Thanks for the comments!  Edited by oih82w8

Agreed, though I have something around if you're ever looking ;) I'm not surprised at the grade, looks like a net grade since the problems weren't bad enough for 'details' on the dime. |
