jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 12:10 am I basically got this one for free in an ebay auction lot. The seller did not post very good photos. What grade would you say? Ignore the one on the right in this last one Report this Post to the Staff

vince22 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 12:20 am I would say xf45 or higher; the toning makes it particularly difficult to grade. But there does not seem to be much wear. The spot around the ST in STATES might be an issue though. Incredible deal either way! Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 11:04 am You guys are harsh. I don't see this coin as any worse than AU55, and probably better. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 12:43 pm I think AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 1:50 pm I agree, looks to me like a high AU Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff
jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 2:45 pm Looks like a pretty big difference in opinions. Maybe these last three photos will help with a final verdict. Thanks though guys. I'm not planning on doing anything with it, except take it out and admire it every now and then. Report this Post to the Staff
epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 7:12 pm Great picture of the hair under "liberty", which show a little wear. I'll raise my bid from 53 to AU55 reverse is a AU58 though On a Barber dime, I loook for details on the corn kernels, hair detail under liberty, among other things... I bet Matthew has a thing or two to say about ths coin... I'll wait for his expertise on the matter... Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 8:04 pm very nice, great detail and awesome toning! I'd have to say mid to high AU... If you don't mind answering whats "basically for free"? Lol.. I'd have paid a bit for this one, excellent eye appeal... Report this Post to the Staff
vince22 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 8:21 pm Revision: I will say that the reverse with the new pics is a very nice AU 58, and the Obverse an AU 55, so probably around 55 total. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 8:35 pm Ah, from these photos I can see that what I thought was wear beneath the band isn't such :). I don't think it reaches 58, but might go AU53. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd have paid a bit for this one, excellent eye appeal... Well it was a lot of 22 indian heads including a CN, a flying eagle, and another AU Barber dime. I ended up getting all of it for $43. Like I said the seller posted some pretty bad pics but I gues I saw something special with the dimes that nobody else did and actually put in a bid quite a bit higher than $43. Thanks guys Report this Post to the Staff
