Bought 5 early dimes from an auction and received them today. I've posted a 1939-S for your grading thoughts. Thanks in advance. The spot on the back bottom is from the case, not anything w/ the coin.   |

my concern would be the possibility of a cleaning with a cloth of some type. looking to the left of the date to the "L" where there is the black whatever it is, there appears to be light scratch lines all going in one direction normally signifying the coin was wiped with something. not sure if it would be bad enough to details the coin though

Coin doesn't jump, luster not evident from pics. Looks mid-MS at best if that.

The band doesn't look bad, 39-S is known to have flat center band.
Maybe is the lighting, but I would call this high AU, Mercury face has some contact issue.

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."
