You can always use this as a reference for grading: http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Draped10LE/GradesAnd Yes, that Reverse looks significantly better than a AG to me. The detail is equal to that of a VF-20 but the rims are worn like that of a aG/G so perhaps a VG for the reverse after NET grading. The Obverse is a solid aG-03. Overall, the coin is a G-4/G-06, so yes, slightly better than what it's graded but if there is actually Env Damage on the coin then it's graded fairly at aG-03. Edited by zxcccxz

Looks like PCGS 'net' graded it. AG obverse, VG reverse, environmental damage obverse.

Probably lucky to get into a holder without stating an issue. It looks like a dog to me.

IMHO, it almost makes G4. I think it's correctly graded.

It looks like a details/ problem coin to me. If GSC has it listed as a BIN you know it's a dog.

IMHO, PCGS undergraded this coin ... G4+ (better reverse) When it comes to these early coins with such uneven wear, the TPG'ers should take a more balanced approach instead of placing too much emphasis on the most worn area. Just my Two Cents worth ... |

This coin might better have gone to NCS, There appears to be some surface contamination. Looking past that, I like the look of it.. Then too, given my appreciation of counterstamped coins, my sense of beauty must be impaired, eh what?

Thanks for all the responses. I asked because I own an 1805 Draped Bust Dime and have considered sending it in for grading. It's a low grade example, a Good-4, I hope, and I want to see how this type is graded before spending the money to have it slabbed.
