numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11910 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 7:39 pm $296. 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."

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 8:05 pm I see this coin at 9 inches in diameter on my computer monitor. (Phone hotspot to computer) Pictures could be a little sharper but from what I can see there is no wear, so has to be some sort of MS grade. Overall even toning, with tiny darker spots, but an attractive coin anyway. Very tiny digs are hard to discriminate from very tiny localized toning spots, using pictures that could be a little sharper. I will guesstimate at MS-63, other opinions may differ slightly Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 9:18 pm Well I'm at AU-58 + , this dime is not MS . Needs a nice soak in acetone try to dissolve all that green crud . No wear to speak of but has other indications of a slightly circulated coin . Report this Post to the Staff
dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 9:56 pm I've never graded a barber coin before. What does one look for when doing so? I'd guess the cheek and neck, but don't see that much of a difference from 58 to 63 on most examples. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18714 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 07:40 am AU58 or MS62. I'm not sure these photos are showing the real color of the coin and what if any luster remains. without better photos I'm going with AU58 Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36883 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 08:45 am I'm thinking AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3668 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 1:17 pm Nice depression-era coin! This looks EMDS, and well struck for New Orleans. There is some light surface pitting, and a few contact marks. I'm also torn between AU-58 and MS-62, though I cannot see evidence of circulation on the reverse. Two things of possible concern caught my eye: the area in the field just below the "M" of AMERICA and a possible scratch across ONE on the reverse. All things weighed, I wonder if this may be UNC Details, ED, because of PVC. Report this Post to the Staff
