MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/30/2020 11:16 pm Came across this dime tonight. It has a really nice look to it, but I think it has some worn die issues. How do worn die issues affect grading? Report this Post to the Staff

MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/30/2020 11:39 pm What would an approximate grade be for this coin? Just curious. Is it just a spender with the die issues? Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 12:05 am I'm on the opposite side of the coin as Sal, if you will. It usually doesn't. Now a lot of this I've noticed is dependent on the series/years. I've seen plenty of MS-67 LDS, mushy Buffalo nickels, MS67 Mercs loaded with die polishing, weakly struck LDS early copper/silver with planchet defects come back mid-high MS. It's seems like, at least to me, series and mintages that are synonymous with die wear/ die issues, aren't really held back from receiving a high MS. Now take a coin that's known for a strong strike on fresh dies, throw some die wear into the equation and it tends to hold it back. Worth noting, when I say hold it back, I'm referring to your high MS grades. Low to mid MS grades won't be affected by die wear. MS67-68 seems to be that area when it becomes a factor for some. IMO.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 05:13 am IMHO, MS60 should be MS60 regardless. How can a LDS die fully strike up a coin and receive a MS67 grade? I hope I am making sense to you all. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 09:00 am Agree, did state shouldn't affect the grade. I'll say MS-65 or so here. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19185 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 11:44 am The I and W in IGWT appear to be flattened--rolling machine artifact? Not sure. I'm going with MS61 here. Report this Post to the Staff
