Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 05:55 am Much better than a mere 25, I'd give it XF-40. Edited by Matteproof 07/28/2014 05:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 10:09 am I grade VF-35. Nice semi-key date coin! Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 3:37 pm Without looking at Photograde, my initial guess is high VF After looking, I'm still thinking VF-35 possibly XF-40 This is an expensive coin in higher grades. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 6:25 pm I'd go with VF35 on this too. It is an attractive dime. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 07/29/2014 07:03 am Thank you for your comments, everybody. My estimate is VF35 as well, even if it compares favorably with examples graded EF40. I remember reading somewhere the 1885 S dime is actually one of those slightly over-rated coins. Scarce yes, but not as much as much as the guides may suggest. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 07/29/2014 09:32 am I'm in the EF category. Someone just posted an 1868 LSD that is a VF35 and you can see this 1885-S has less wear on the higher points of the obverse relief as well as the reverse. Nice dime Germanics.
