Today, I went to the Melville coin show and was pleasantly surprised by all the vendors there. There was a lot of good stuff to look at  . I wound up purchasing a OBW roll of 1956d cents, 1921 Mercury dime (P01), and an 1856 silver trime. I have a hard time grading these coins because of the weak strikes. I think this one is G04 what do you think? Thanks!   |

I think it would catch an 08.

Before being bent and straightened, differetial wear has occurred.
Often the case with thin coins.

Sel I don't think it was bent and straightened wouldn't there be more noticeable damage?

The strike on these is very poor. This one is weak towards the rim on both sides but not all the way around it. I like this one at F-12

That's even better! I picked this one out knowing that they were known for weak strikes. It was a nice problem free coin, which is nearly impossible to find on ebay for good prices. This is my first silver trime and I'm happy I bought it! I paid $40 for it, which I thought was reasonable since it's a better date |

VG8 with great eye appeal. Congrats on a great coin. Peole should know what a typical vg8 looks like.  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."
