Could you help me with grade this 1912-s dime? Pictures didn't show this, but coin has awesome luster (especially reverse). It is hard to take good photo, but details looks very nice with naked eye. What do you think, it is AU50 or higher? I bought this coin for 13$.   |

From the photos the coin looks cleaned, that could be the lighting but from these photos I would say AU details cleaned

Thank you for answers. To be honest, I thought it is at least AU50 coin, especially because of full corn, wheats and leaves details and sharp Liberty. At PCGS Photograde I saw these details only at AU50 and higher examples. About luster - now I dont know if this is a luster or not:) Definitely it's not shinning like Morgans or Peace dollars, but at the other side, it doesn't look like polished coin. Here is new pics, but I know it's hard to tell from photos.   Edited by thusdayclub

Based on the new pics I can see this maybe at AU50 but the coin was dipped in some type of cleaning solution. The surfaces are not original. $13 was a good price

EF45 dipped possibly in a muratic acid solution, very strange pitting would make this coin detail grade I'm sure.
