I don't have this coin in-hand yet. Based on what you see in these photos, where would you grade this dime? Thanks for all opinions!   |

In guessing XF45, maybe AU50. Will be curious to see what the others have to say.

I'm thinking maybe low AU, for the grade.
Errers and Varietys.

I guess XF45. The cheek and neck look unnaturally white. I would be concerned about getting a details grade for cleaning if submitted for TPG. Overall it looks like a nice coin with probably 50/50 shot on a straight grade. I'd keep it raw if I owned it. Edited by BH1964

Wow humblepie thats one neat little dime. My first thought was AU second thought which 50 or 53? 2.4 millon minted and maybe 80-90 originals left in this grade? Pics clear enough for me to think no problem getting straight grade. Ive encounted more than a few of off white pixie dusted dimes with a grainular dusty look straight grades is it planchet the dies storage? Sure barber hunters have seen ran into them. My second time around the series and ive gotten picky this time keys first semi-keys second. Normally paying full book or 10-15% over for attractive pcgs samples and no regrets these have really quietly increased since 2020 got me doing double takes. Biggest surprice was finding a decent 1901 S full rims with some appeal wow the $90 days a nice G4 seem long gone. Your 93 S looks like smart buy.

There does seem to be an old cleaning. If it goes straight i'd say XF.

I'm at EF Details, Cleaned. Looks like a RPM. Unfortunately it has a very unnatural appearance and poor eye appeal. I would hold out for a wholesome, problem-free example if you can.
