Hunter37 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 7:15 pm Hi! I recently picked this capped bust dime for $15 dollars to add to my type set. I was wondering what this coin would grade. I would love feedback about the coin so I can better understand what to look for in the future with some of these classic coins. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 7:25 pm I'd say G-06, some possibility of a "details" grade because of obverse cut and reverse staining. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18680 Posts	Posted 11/09/2019 10:31 am appears to be a weak strike on both sides. you can tell this by looking at the higher areas such as LIBERTY and the date which is more prominent than the lower set devices. the obverse has more detail than a G coin with full LIBERTY and almost complete surrounding line around it. the flowing hair has detail and the bust drape and clasp have the details in the F range. the reverse banner has all visible letters but the rest of the reverse has lost a lot detail due to the strike. you cant have a high point on a coin that shows less wear then a low point. coins do not wear like that and therefore my weak strike assessment technically I would say its a F coin but as previously stated I think it may receive a details designation due to discoloration and staining and reduce its overall grade to VG details Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 11:19 pm Good, close to VG, a tiny bit of reverse rim merge, weak central strike as noted above. The damage in the field left of the mouth has a chance of resulting in a Details slab grade, but it would look fine in an album with your type set :) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
