I'd say solid vf30 maybe higher. No expert on this series.

This is a very rare coin with 150,000 minted, but much fewer survivors - PCGS and NGC populations together at 200 or so in all grades. Worth about $1,500. Uncirculated examples trade north of $100k. Very nice and thanks for sharing.
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."

Lovely example with no hint of cleaning or dipping. You might want to try a little more shaded light to show field contrast.
VF-35 and close to the EF mark.
Excellent coin that I would submit to NGC if I owned it.

Thank you, guys. Numismatic Student and moxking, thank you for your comments. When it comes to dimes I am primarily a bust collector, but have been slowly adding to a small Seated dime collection as well. I have been after this particular date for quite a while. It is scarce, as you say. This example is a good upgrade to the one below, which I found about 1 year ago. As you can see, it has some damage and that ended up bothering me.   Edited by GERMANICVS

Solid VF with a good chance at XF40 I think. Certainly worth submitting for a grade. Beautiful coin.  |

Those are some squared off rims! I would send her in and expect a VF30.
