My son was born in 2011 and I decided a while back to make a 100 year birth set for him. I'm taking this one slow so it's taking time to complete the set. I found this coin last week and I snatched it up. What do you think NGC graded this puppy?

Enjoy, Dan

MS64 as well. 100 year birth set is a cool idea!

Excellent idea - and a very nice looking dime to boot.

AU-58, weak luster, probably dipped a couple times before. Very sharp.

Time to reveal the grade.

It looks really nice in hand, this picture is not that great.
It's totally under graded. The nicks by the mouth I can't see with a 3x and a 10x has a hard time seeing the nicks by the mouth.

Needless to say I agree with MS64 too. I picked it up for MS63 price actually and I feel I got a great deal on it.

Thanks for playing
Dan

In my observation TPG grades for Barber dimes are all over the place. Maybe they didn't like the rust spots below the ribbon ends. Who knows.

Looks like the dull luster might have held this one back.

64 nicely struck
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."
