I really like these early dated Seated dimes.
Do you guys think this particular one would make EF40?

I seem to have only the original seller pictures. Hope they are good enough to be able to judge.

Thank you for your opinions.

I'm not very good at grading these, but I'll say VF30 overall. Reverse looks pretty good, but obverse has a bit of wear. Not sure if it's a worn die or weak strike.

Do you have the coin in hand for new pictures? The obverse picture is of a Seated quarter.

Um, no it isn't. The stars are plainly too close for a Quarter.

It's poorly-struck as expected for the issue but the obverse still doesn't quite let me reach XF even factoring the lesser expectation for something as small as a Dime. The reverse is XF all day. I have to call it VF35 all the same.

Oops my bad , I was looking at the folds in the dress near the shield which looks like the quarter.

VF-30 maybe a tad better but just shy of XF in my opinion.

It looks like a Small O mint mark beyond that I can't pinpoint the id http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/...ovarpage.htm

VF30 or maybe 35. The surfaces would need to be examined in-hand. They appear a bit "dry" but that could be the bright images.

I'm at VF35.

Slightly too much wear to call it XF40.

Strong VF35. Reverse should make 40. Obverse has me a little baffled as the stars and head have good detail. I would expect to see these areas to show signs of a weak strike. What am I missing here?

VF-35 with extremely nice eye appeal. I could see paying XF money since it is a quality coin.

Someone mentioned about the weak strike but that shield would keep me out of the XF range. I would call it VF++, or VF-35 would be fine.
