Hey guys I ran across this Seated dime on ebay earlier today .. The coins appears to have a decent amount of luster from what I can tell .. These listing photos are pretty bad , I've got nice coins for low prices with these ( bad photo gambles ) in the past but have also purchased a few I've regretted .. I believe I can get this coin cheap enough that it wouldn't be a big lose if it didn't turn out has I'd hoped .. From what I can tell I'm thinking this coin is in the EF 40 to AU 50 range .. What would you guys guess on this one ?

Just hope that there are no hairline scratches, marks, or dings that the pics are hiding!

Might be an old clean that it is hiding?

I wouldn't make a decision based on those pics.

I don't see any luster, just dirt..well, I don't see much of anything.
Bad pictures = seller is not proud of the coin or simply does not care...not a good sign..ask for semi-decent pics or walk away.

Could be a hidden scratch but as far as the surfaces and detail this coin looks like a nice XF40. I wouldn't say this coin has luster.

Just guess XF detail valued at $10 max and it'll be hard to go wrong. I see small rim dings but no worse than 40 details.

Is there any chance of providing the viewers with the URL to this ebay listing? |

This one is a real gamble. the meat is there, but are all the fixins there ?
Wouldn't grade it higher than a possible EF-40 .

It all will come down to what price you can get on this. Price it for the worst case - if it goes above that price, let it go; otherwise it is all upside. I too have both scored and lost on "bad picture" auctions. Far more wins than losses though. Like you said, it is a gamble.

EF-40 even with the crappy photos
