Okay CCF, let's break out those grading skills and see how our minds think against the authorities themselves...well, depending on who you ask.  Either way, here's a lovely little 166 year old dime for your viewing pleasure... I'm stuck on the die marriage here. It's making for a very curious exploration on my part. I love this part of the hobby, the variety hunting. Thanks for looking!   |

The reverse is better, pulling it to VF35.

I think PCGS would say VF-35. It's an attractive coin.

I'll break the trend and go with my first impression AU50. The obverse doesn't have the best strike but I really like it. I really like Stars Obverse LSDs and this is a solid example.

Lacks too much detail to be AU50 on the obverse, but the reverse may grade that.
VF-35 maybe XF-40

EF45 nice detail still remains in the reverse leaves and the coin looks pretty well struck up.
