Grade This: 1911 Barber Dime

Just shows how hard it is to grade from a photograph. With all posted so far, I'd say AU-53. An awesome deal.

For me the biggest clue that I thought might drag it below MS from the original photographs was the apparent wear on the letters (which could be confused with strike issues) and the darkness on the cheek. The wear also confirms why the luster appeared diffuse in the brighter photographs, in a truly mint state coin I would expect a tighter cartwheel look to the luster.

Good grading exercise.
