Just picked this up...your thoughts? The second set of pictures didn't capture much detail, but capture the actual color of the coin under normal lighting better...

Nice pick-up. I'd say at least VF20.

The left side of the reverse appears to be very weak or damaged in some way. So i'll have to say about VG 10 too.

Yeah it's a little faint in hand, but I think that's just the way it's struck. Doesn't really look damaged though. The coin does have a rim ding according to the (unrecognized) holder, probably at 7 o'clock.

Anyone else, before I post the slabbed grade and my personal opinion?

These are tough to grade, but I'll go f-12 from what I can make out in the pics. A very cool dime!

Alright, I went with F-12 or F-12 + (not sure about F-15) because
obverse seems very close, if not F-12 and the reverse seems close to VF if not all the way there. I bought this for $675 and it's slabbed VG-10 with a rim-ding from SEGS.
