Picked up this 1940-D dime and curious on your thoughts for a grade. Thanks in advance. SS   |

softly struck ms61
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."

Picture looks wash out, not enough contrast. AU-MS.

Not FSB, unfortunately.
For FSB, tops of the bands have to be like the tops of loaves of bread, with an obvious groove between.
A bit more obverse detail than usual for a 1940, especially on the side wing.
Grading wise, 62 would be near the mark.

I am thinking MS-62 from those pictures.

Impossible to grade from these photos. Unable to tell if the surfaces are original or cleaned.
