Looks genuine but we need enlarged, clear shots of the date to be more certain. This date has often been counterfeited.
Gradewise, looks mint state, potentially MS-63 or better. Not full bands.
Again, need better photos to properly assess luster and contact marks.
Potentially, a high-grade valuable key date dime!

Thank you. I'm not sure what's above the B. I took this coin to a local coin shop (good old toms) and the "specialist" claims it hasn't been cleaned. I will take more pics

AU50-58 Looks like original mint luster to me. IMHO, I'd be very happy to have it in my collection. The 2 center bands are like eyebrows, Their should be 2 of them, not one. Still a very nice coin

Nice AU coin that was lightly cleaned at one time. I think they would still grade it AU53 to 55 though as the cleaning is not obnoxious.

That's a beauty! Agree with the above posters, lightly cleaned but not terribly so. Only you know for sure as you can see it in hand. Looks bright, but if she doesn't have any luster left, that would be too bad. Heck of a coin!
Rest in Peace

Yes I agree AU-53. Maybe cleaned , If it's genuine then it's one beauty of an over date.

A very attractive example. As Jasper pointed out, the bands (I do see 2, albeit not full) and the rub-down of the relief on the vertical lines just below/right of the band itself hold this coin to AU53-55.

Still, I would be proud to have this guy.
