I bought this dime because I love the Bluenose Schooner. She is a beautiful ship.  With that said, I'm not good at grading coins and maybe someone here could do that. I'm thinking AU.  The fields are nice and shiny and the raised areas look to be without wear. Joanne   |

I think that it's been polished.

I agree. It does look polished. If so, it's a details coin.
Errers and Varietys.

What would cue you into it being cleaned? To me it looks shiny. Would it be micro abrasions that I can't see?
Edit: Whats a details coin?

Whats a details coin? Basically a coin that won't straight grade because of problems/issues like being cleaned, polished, corroded, damaged, etc. They're also worth way less than a coin that has no problems/issues. It's not a good thing. It's bad. Errers and Varietys.

It's 80% silver so it has that going for it.

Nice piece. Yes, likely to have been cleaned at some point. Looks to have some 'light' circulation dings. That nick on the reverse rim isn't helping. I'm thinking high end XF, possible low AU.

Thank you everyone for your input. I agree that it is no more than junk silver, but I happen to like the schooner so I'm keeping it for that reason. Joanne |

 I'm having 3 more dimes that have yet to be delivered. I think they have the Queen on them and one is colorized. Edited by Empty_Pockets
