adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 09/06/2025 01:05 am I'm going to say '97 is VG10 and '96 is F12 and PCGS gave both VG10. Def not my series, so will be curious what others have to say. Edited by adam126402 09/06/2025 01:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 09/07/2025 4:23 pm I'd call these VG-8 and F-12. I'd agree with VG-10 for the 1897-O based on the obverse but its weak reverse rim holds it back. Report this Post to the Staff
luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 09/08/2025 1:33 pm F-12 for both slabs the 97 O is a nice even VG-10 at tops imo. The 96 O technically shows all of Liberty but doesn't have the punch of NGC or ANACS F-12 dimes imo. Thanks for comments. Check out the 1895 P on GC graded VG-10 it's wild looking no letters visible looks between a G-6 and VG-8 Report this Post to the Staff
