Thinking this one is unlikely to straight grade, but who cares, it's a draped bust dime and I love draped bust dimes. Thoughts? Thanks! 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."

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 01:50 am Would it not grade due to the black lines being scratches? That's the only reason I can see and can't tell if they're scratches or not. Okay beyond that this is exactly what an original example of early American silver coinage should look like. The detail at the center of the obverse is amazingly strong (close to AU) especially relative to the reverse rim area. I really think this is an XF+ piece on a technical grade. The market grade might well be XF Details but the scratches(?) aren't that distracting on this piece. PCGS grade this cleaned, scratched piece straight at XF45 so you never know what the coin gods will say. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
