Ironically enough, technically the coin may be a VG/F due to strike. I'm not an expert on those. I'd definitely say VG8 on the conservative side.

Even though I could still make out Liberty in the shield, I also agree with Prethen, its probably VG8. The L in Liberty looks a little worn. Either way, its and excellent find, Congratulations.

It's part of a lot I'm winning - there's also an Essequibo and Demarera coin.. I probably spelt that last one wrong..

What the heck is a Stiver? It does look like a cool coin, though.

A right fair buy for a mere £3.86 which is on the order of about $8.20 now, and I concur that the grade is a wee nigher than G ta. Sometimes if you look hard enough, you can get similar examples from the Carson City mint from that year, they are not rare, but an affordable means of owning a coin from a rather narstily elusive mint.

VG-8. It pretty much could have served as the coin in the photo for the series in the ANA Grading Standards (6th edition) for that grade. Nice coin, by the way. |

You guys are pretty tough on that poor dime, I think at least VG-10, possibly F-12.

I am always tough on my own coins too - in order to make sure I don't over pay heeh ;)
But thanks Treas' I initially guessed an F-10 but then there are a few blemishes.
I don't really know this coin much anyway, just know it's a classic.
