That's a steal for $25!
Overall nice strike. Tough to see what's going on in some of the fields, need a bit more light, and sharper larger pics as others mentioned.
I'm at MS65, more light may reveal more, but no less than MS64.

Even if that is a large nick on the buffalos belly above the front leg it still may go MS65 - as stated: a deal

I would never buy from these pics. This is an EF-AU price, and I'm betting you'll get no more than an AU coin.  |

I know the pictures are not that good but this looks uncirculated even if it's a bad picture and the guy I'm buying it from has undersold me some coins before I bought a Franklin half for $12 raw got a ms66 grade. |

Nice coin. I'll hold on grade until you have the in-hand pics.
I played with the seller's photos, and I see the contact marks fairly well. What makes me pause is the disruption in luster in the hair above the knot and on the eyebrow. This could be album toning over album rub, or it could be evidence of light circulation. I do not see luster disruption on the reverse pic. The obverse contact marks include two light scratches across the face, and the reverse contact marks include light scuffing on the shoulder. I'm leaning toward either AU-58 or MS-63, but the larger pics will help.
Overall, it has a matching EMDS die pairing, moderate die clashing, minimal die polishing, and no severe contact marks. The odd mark on the buffalo's midsection could be anything from a defect in the photo to a scrap of lint to a gouge. The better photos will clarify this.
Again, at $25 there isn't a downside here.

Hey, enjoy your vacation! We'd just like to see pics of this 66FB dime you bought for $6 when you get back! Sounds like you had it graded?

No problem didn't mean to sound rude or anything like that it's graded by icg so the grade could be up in the air but still looks close to that grade to me.

Icg seems like sometimes they overgrade uncirculated coins but just had it recently graded didn't buy it graded
