NumisEd Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 09:13 am Coin doesn't look real to me. 1) The "B" in "LIBERTY" looks more like a "N" to me and the "I" and "N" are almost merging. 2) The font of the date looks funny to me (too rounded). 3) Don't see much wrong with the reverse.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2638 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 09:20 am Nothing wrong with it. The B probably took a hit to make it look odd. The date is supposed to be rounded. Check out some graded examples on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1772 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 09:29 am Looks fine to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53521 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 09:54 am Agree, circulation damage. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 10:00 am OK, good to know I was off. Since it is real, what grade should it get? VF30 perhaps? But if I compare it with this one... https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...e-PCGS-XF-45 ...the font of the date looks definitely different on the PCGS graded XF45. Which of the two you think looks better for its grade? Edited by NumisEd 11/25/2020 10:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2638 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 11:10 am The example you are comparing to us a small date. The coin that you posted is a large date. EDIT: see my retraction below. Edited by BigSilver 11/25/2020 11:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 1736 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 11:18 am The OP coin looks like a small date to me..... Looks legitimate to me as well, just seen some circulation Edit: grade wise, VF-30/35 sounds right to me.

smat45 Valued Member United States 457 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 07:48 am Very respectable first year example. VF30 for me. smat Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 12/03/2020 7:07 pm Here is a slightly sharper pic of the obverse. Overall the coin looks better than the photographs and very appealing to me. Definitely pleased with it. Edited by NumisEd 12/03/2020 7:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 21767 Posts	Posted 12/11/2020 5:41 pm EF-40 details, environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharkman Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 1:10 pm I think it very attractive with a beautiful cameo effect. XF40. I couldn't hazard a guess on details without seeing in hand. It might straight grade. In any event, you have an attractive example of a tough date which is always a good thing. Report this Post to the Staff

I couldn't hazard a guess on details without seeing in hand. It might straight grade. Here is one final attempt of mine to photograph to obverse and reverse of this coin. Regardless of the possible details grade it might receive, I like the coin because it is exactly what I am looking for in a (half) dime: a dark field and a strong circulation cameo effect.
