This one might break up some marriages but after a huge sell off of lots of little coins that were fun to own but not long term investment worthy, the Mrs. has claimed to understand and is NOT leaving me  Love the frosty cameo appearance on a business strike  thanks for looking   |

WoW! MS-65. Might go higher in hand, but that is the best I can do with small pics.

That coin is nice. I can't even guess as to the grade, but I would have guessed proof if not for your subtle clue.

I'm going MS-66. Amazing proof-like quality to this piece. Must've been one of the first off of a fresh pair of dies!

Wow. Just wow. This is a major rarity in the grade, that grade being "anything in Mint State." These are so rare that it's actually difficult to estimate a value, even knowing the grade - they simply appear too infrequently on the market for a consistent idea. Get it in front of the right set of bidders, and it'll go to the moon.
I'm going to guess it's somewhere in the range of MS65, great for the grade, and as such has a value of around $5500+. It'll take you $3000+ just to get into a 63. This is a singularly good long-term investment.

It looks like a proof. Think it might be misattributed as MS? I would guess it's a 64 at least and struck from proof dies. Nice piece.

By the grace and blessings of God, my son will will go to college in 8 years. I will not have a single emotional attachment to this coin making it easy for me put up for auction and when it appears on the market again in 2022, I only hope I can double my money or get close to that figure. This would cover text books and meals for a couple of semesters if that is the case. I guess that will depend on how many others appear in its grade or finer around that time before any real assessment of the landscape can be made? |

You want the fewest-possible to appear between now and then.  We'll take a closer look at value estimates when the grade is revealed; if this one has the stonkin' eye appeal it looks to, when auctioned you're going to want to Reserve it well above grade price IMO. |

At least MS-64, if not higher.
That dime has amazing detail and eye appeal
