Hello everyone! Is this a good type coin for Draped Bust Large Eagle dimes? PCGS did straight grade it, I am just wondering what you guys think of this coin. Also what dates do you find underrated and undervalued in the series? Sorry for the poor quality of the picture--even the true view one is weak.    |

this ones a challenge using either set of photos. the first set looks like there is a good bit of luster hanging around. the trueview photos are pathetic but easier to see the devices sharpness. using the trueview I thought VF35. using the first set (which I think is more what the coin actually looks like) I'm thinking AU50. I'm going with something in between but leaning towards the first set. XF45

Super cool coin. My guess is AU-55 with these pics.

Can't get a good sense from the pictures but looks at least AU. I don't look at enough of these to know what is out there on offer but looks like a great addition to your type set.  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."

Thanks everyone! It is actually not my coin. It is for sale, and I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it. The only Draped Bust Large Eagle dime I own is in an NGC holder that I posted here in late summer of 2020. I am looking to acquire a nice high end circulated one from either 1798 (preferably 1798/7), 1801, or 1802. AU(50) it is!  |

I think the photo is hiding a lot. Because to me, AU-50 means "tons of scratches".
I would personally wait for a nice XF40-45.

Thanks everyone! What do you think about the coloring from 11 to 3 o'clock on the obverse?

That's an incredible coin and 99% of us would gladly say, "yes! Please!" if we had the opportunity and funds.

Excellent example. What are they asking for it?
