I am also curious how you all would grade this one, based on the strike, surfaces, etc...I have my own opinions based on the surfaces themselves primarily, but I learn so much the discussions on this forum. Thanks so much! ![1798/7-16-Stars-Draped-Bust-Dime--[not-My-Coin]-PCGS-Vs-You](uploaded/adam590/20240907_1798-obverse.jpg) ![1798/7-16-Stars-Draped-Bust-Dime--[not-My-Coin]-PCGS-Vs-You](uploaded/adam590/20240907_1798-reverse.jpg) |

Looks like a 64. The only significant mark I see is in the hair above the ear. The mark is fairly substantial, maybe a staple scratch. Maybe a 63+ on a bad day. Beautiful coin overall but not anywhere as rare as the 1804. Overdate looks great under the tiny 8. Love the scrawny chicken necked eagle from the gold quarter eagle die.
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."

I'll say MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.

My initial reaction was a 64. Wow! Marks in the hair hold it back along with a mark under the Y. May even be higher than a 64. Strike seems pretty spectacular.
