I will say, though, that people do go a little overboard by trying to say that pretty much every coin is cleaned. I agree, I see this a lot in forums. The reason is that cleaning detection is hard to do and people will use reasons that could occur some other way like being carried in a pocket. I am basing this on the "you verse TPG threads". People have a tendency to under-guess. Of course grading is subject. I usually need some sort of visual example along with a description to give a best guess on what the grade is although grading is subjective. I looked through the PCGS photograde it the "LIBERTY" matches the VF coins and that is what I consider this. From what I hear though, grading standards use to be more conservative than they are today, perhaps that is why many tend to under-guess graded coins. Doesn't matter that much, tend to always keep full "liberty" Barbers for myself found in lots as oppose to selling them. Edited by buddy16cat

I agree with Mathewvincent. VF-20 is a conservative grade for this coin. The "LIBERTY" in fine coins is more broken up but all the letters are present. I always keep these full "LIBERTY" dimes I find in lots.

F Details, cleaned and damaged.
Look at the gouges on the both the obverse and reverse.
Even the most conservative grading would not give this coin a problem free grade so the finer aspects of LIBERTY that sees this coin on the cusp of F to VF are really a moot point.

As well you should buddy. There will come a day when fines are no longer commmon. There was once a time when good and very goods were listed together. Soon VGs and fines will show a difference in price. I KNOW the Barber dimes well. |

I think it may be VF-20 details. Some pretty good gouges on it may get the details grade.

Those scratches you mean? I was looking at my other full "LIBERTY" dimes. I think they are nicer than this one. I have to put one in an air-tight since it is developing rainbow toning it appears. Perhaps how I am storing them? Yes, these are coins I hold on to as oppose to flipping. Some coins I think will be worth more later, I like, or for some reason they are going for much lower I think they are worth. The VF 3 cent nickel I bought of no lawyer will be added to this.

I was wondering about those deep scratches and whether it was a details coin when posting it. Of course I was sidetracked because I think the coin is VF details and not F details.

I don't know, the scratches on the obverse and reverse look pretty deep.
