Would appreciate some input on this 1902 Barber dime mint error. In hand it is clearly MS but I'm not familiar with grading errors. Sending to PCGS in a few days, any extra services I should pay for to better classify this coin? What would you grade it? Adjusted pics for brightness but no adjusted colors. Coin is brighter silver in hand and definitely never cleaned (I hope).   A few pics added: Coin is in a SAFLIP, but turned up the lights a little:   [[moved] Edited by The Regency Store

Somewhere between AU58 and MS62. The hairlines on both sides will hold it back from a higher grade. Really tough to tell what it might grade from those pics.
Whatever it grades it is pretty neat!

A Mint error doesn't affect the grade. The coin is graded as if the error wasn't there and then the error is noted on the slab. Okay, not quite. High priced errors (1955 DDO, 1937-D 3-leg, etc.) will often get the benefit of a slightly high grade if it's close (VF-35 instead of VF-30). |

Lovely AU-58. It's always tougher to find the older coins with nice errors, like this one. Best of luck on your submission. Let us know the results.

The edge lacks reeding, correct?

AU55 - it is pretty well dinged up all over, but minimal wear and the remaining luster is attractive.

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."
