This one I purchased today online....decided it was time to get one...plus it had a little color which didn't stop me from thinking of it from time to time. Let me know what you think.....Leave a grade....Let the others guess if you already where it was acquired from.   |

F15 obverse, VF20 reverse.
I'd call this F15, but I think NGC gave it VF20, maybe higher

I see the reverse at least VF-20/25...however with the obverse and the lack of "TY" visible in liberty...  got me thinking F-15 Great year and mint no matter the grade...  Edited by Greasy Fingers

Old school says Liberty has to be fully readable to make F12-15, so I say VG10 as well.

Readable LIBERTY should be present for F12 so I don't see how this coin could qualify. Faint old scratches on the obverse hopefully didn't generate a details grade.
VG-10 here. Desirable key date, in any grade.

I'm probably way off on this one. I never look at just one marker to determine grade. the markers can get you into range but I look at the overall coin. the amount of circulation wear on this coin imo is better than a Fine coin. date and lettering a very sharp with more meat than you would find on a Fine coin. I think the overall coin has the look of a VF30 coin, however, I would deduct for a weak strike, the lack of all LIBERTY letters present and possible old cleaning (which probably would grade straight) I'm netting it VF20

I'm seeing something on the reverse that I don't believe I've ever seen before on a Barber dime . There's a raised dot between 8 and 9:00; What is that ? I don't believe this coin was ever cleaned . I also don't think it was a LDS . I'm seeing average wear both sides , a bummer about those obverse scratches however in my opinion it won't detail the coin . Everything taken into consideration the coin is in between a F-12 and a F-15 . At the right price I would have bought this Dime also .  |
