Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 4:36 pm Are the surfaces on both these coins original? The dime may be cleaned but not sure. What do they grade in your opinion? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 5:20 pm Both look original to me. Dime XF-45 at least, nickel might just make 50. Edited by Coinfrog 08/01/2016 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kevin_1986 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 5:21 pm The dime looks EF 45 maybe AU .. The detail for an AU coin is there but I'm not sure the luster is ... The reverse of the coin worries me though , also this Executive coin company tend to charge full retail value on most coins I see them list ... I'd bet with a little searching you can find a nicer example at a better price ... As for the Buffalo nickel , I'm no good grading them but I'm going to say EF40/45? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 5:22 pm Good point on the dime luster - that's what keeps me at 45. Report this Post to the Staff
Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 5:43 pm Thank you both. I'm trying to find an original example for my 7070. The Barber type in particular (dime, quarter & half) for whatever reason seem to have more cleaned ones than ones with original surfaces compared to the other types. Report this Post to the Staff
Kevin_1986 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 08/01/2016 6:48 pm I'd say your best bet is to just keep an eyes on the ebay auctions... There are a lot of problem coins out there but you can find a nice example if you keep at it .. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 08:52 am 45 on the dime ,could be gouges on obverse opposite her mouth & chin , scratch on lower neck . 50 on the Nickel , wear on high spots . Also could be a 2 feather variety . Report this Post to the Staff
Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 08:56 am I'm at XF on the dime, but leaning towards a details grade. There appears to be a deeper older gouge beneath the E of DIME on the reverse as well as the more recent scratches pointed out on the obverse. The 1916 is a common date and I would pass on this one if you are looking for a type coin. I think the Buffalo nickel is a good XF/AU. Report this Post to the Staff
