Easily. Looks at least AU55 to me; can't tell if cleaned though.

What about that hit on the obverse rim around 9k?

i agree with mid AU maybe 55 but the surfaces do not look original for a coin with little if any marks on it it should not be as dull and lifeless as the photo is showing

Tentatively, I'm at AU-details (cleaned). I'd have to have better images to confirm my presumption that the coin is cleaned.

Looks like AU-55 details, but agree that it looks lifeless and not original.

Update. The original images were provided by the seller. I was high bidder and I received it today. With coin in hand these are images of my own. I hope they are useful for any revisions of your grading opinions. My images I believe are a little better. The scratches on the face concern me, and perhaps more evidence of cleaning can be determined. In advance, thanks for taking the time to have a look.   Let me know any improvements I can make to the photos. |

Your coin looks very much different from sellers pics. If you can I would consider a return to seller. Its been harshly cleaned and likely net AU details. Thats what I cringe about when it comes to online coins even Mbarrcoins on ebay takes legit pics with a modicum of honesty compared to this one. Not knocking you at all those first picks showed a decent looking coin. Shame on seller shame shame. Is it even the same coin? Edited by luvmyCAM

I briefly also wondered if it was the same coin but the rim nick between ED and defect above the second S are the same.

when luvmyCAM stated its not the same coin they mean that the seller photos where manipulated to make the coin look better than it actually is. this one needs returned
in the future I suggest posting photos prior to purchase if possible. most there called the coin AU possibly cleaned and would have saved you the trouble.

I appreciate the feedback. I've got to avoid these online auctions. Very deceptive and people way over bid for things constantly. I just saw a $25 bid for two 1 grm. silver bars!
Buyers premiums are as high as 18% plus shipping and insurance. I am done with them.
I will just add this dime to my silver stack. Not the first time I have been burned but it will be the last.
Thanks again.

I too would return her! That's too bad the dealer wasn't truthful! Dang it!  |
