I posted this one in the seated liberty post, and was asked my opinion on the grade.....rather than just submitting my opinion I decided to post it here, and give everybody who would like to practice their grading skills an opportunity to voice their opinion. Remember.....its a raw coin, so there's no right or wrong.....should be interesting, and, hopefully, educational.   |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

It looks artificially toned to me.

Pics just not sharp enough for me to judge surfaces.

I agree with Coinfrog. the reflective light is washing out the surfaces. if I go just by what I see it could be anywhere between PF63 and 66

I just can't tell from the pictures.
Rims suggest proof, though.

TypeCoin971793, I am trying to learn and understand and am wondering what you mean, "Rims suggest proof"? How can you determine a proof from the rim?

The picture is over exposed which makes it very hard to grade this coin or even say whether or not it is a Proof. I can't really comment on it. It could be very good or it could be polished with artificial toning. Here is a Proof Legend Obverse Liberty Seated dime.   Edited by billjones
