Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/02/2009 10:36 pm Hello I am not familiar with the strike quality on barber dimes. Maybe if someone could get me in the ballpark on this one. Pics. are not super and color is off some. Liberty is full and the reverse seems pretty close to Unc. Obv. not sure. I do plan on putting it up for auction here once I bet a better idea on it's grade. Thanks http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008...1916Sobv.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008...1916Srev.jpg Edited by Indian1 03/02/2009 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 11:30 am I think this coin is on the fence between EF45 and AU50 and the quality of remaining luster will tip the balance. If there is a good amount of luster it will make AU. If luster is weak, EF45 will be more appropriate. Based on what I can see I would vote for AU. I see some hairline scratches on Liberty's cheek that look like slide marks from storage in an album with removable windows. Otherwise the color and surfaces look original.

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/03/2009 4:54 pm Thanks all. The last remark about the coins luster is a good one. It does show some some decent finish left in hand. AU-50 it is then. That does make about $20.00 diff. in value. Report this Post to the Staff
atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 6:05 pm The bands above and below LIBERTY are not strong and therefore despite the nice detail on the rest of the coin, the grade cannot be more than EF-40....IMHO.
