Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 1:26 pm Guys, I've been debating (with myself) as to whether I want to grade this one Fine or Very Fine. One minute I think it's a shoo-in for Very Fine, and in the next I'm doubting whether there's really enopugh detail left to warrant that grade. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 4:43 pm The obverse certainly could go VF20. The reverse appears to have more wear and hold it to F+. Either way it's a very nice pre-Civil War Seated dime. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
