zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 1:56 pm Been a while since I posted a you vs. PCGS thread. Mostly because most slabs I get are NGC with world coins in them. Not that I get many slabs lately... But here's one. Courtesy of Liberty Coin for your grading pleasure: No Cheating EDIT***(Click on image for a zoomed in photo).

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 3:10 pm BU Roosevelt dimes mostly aren't worth the slabbing fee unless they are very high grade, like MS-67. This coin is mint state all right, but what's going on with the diagonal lines across the obverse? If those were on the coin it would likely deserve an "MS Details - Cleaned" grade. I'll assume the marks are just on the slab, in which case the grade is likely still limited by the distracting dark spots on the obverse which should preclude the super-gem grade level. The toning looks original but not exceptional. The photos are too small to see if perhaps a Full Bands designation is possible. Based on these photos I'd go MS-64. Maybe the coin looks better in-hand.... Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/19/2014 2:21 pm I was surprised at the grading you guy gave this. My guess when looking at the coin would be MS-65 - MS-67. I guess if you think about it, It's not worthwhile to slab a Roosevelt dime under MS-65, the 1955-D being the 3rd lowest mintage in the series. This was my purchase from the free $20 ebay coupon Liberty Coin sent me. Edited by zxcccxz 06/19/2014 2:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
