Hey everyone

Here's a really low grade semi key Barber dime that I'd purchased long ago!!
This is one of the first few coins I got when I first started collecting over 4yrs ago ... This old dime was labeled as ag/ good on the 2x2 when I purchased it , even though I was new to the collecting game I knew better than g-04 ....
So I spent a little time digging threw a mountain of coins eariler and came across this one , I thought I'd post and see what CCF standards would grade this old gal :)

Boy, that is a borderline case. I lean toward G-04.

I believe the spot that might be possible roller damage , is actually the recessed part of where the inner ear would be !!
Or that's just my opinion anyways :)

The circular scratch at the center of the coin is due to its use in an old dime bank. The screw at the top of the bank that is used to keep the coin stack tight is the responsible party, common damage to find on Barber dimes and it is fairly mild on this coin.
