TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 5:12 pm EDIT: After reading some of the replies, I'm wondering if we should slab this dime to verify the MS65 grade. Any opinions? I first tried photographing this dime a few months ago, but one pic had lots of glare and another pic didn't show the mint luster. This is my latest effort at capturing the quality of this dime. It is graded MS65. Edited by TonysPics 08/04/2009 5:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 8:19 pm Excellent picture, I would agree at least MS-65. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 12:14 am Very nice photos, they look almost as good as what you might see in an auction catalog. Well done! Were the photos taken through a slab? That adds an extra challenge. What is that mark between the 1 and 9 of the date? It almost looks like part of a drastically re-punched date digit. If it is a scratch it could bring the grade into question. At the MS-65 level coins should be free of significant "hits" in the prime focal areas, including the date. Report this Post to the Staff

mklpatrick Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 08:28 am I'm not seeing MS65 either because of the "hits" Jaobler is talking about. Those are nice pics, though. Report this Post to the Staff

TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 08/04/2009 5:41 pm Do you guys think we should go ahead and have this slabbed (NGC) to verify the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
rustyboy Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 08/04/2009 5:48 pm I think I would. 63 bids for $120 and 65 for $600. It definitely would help if you need to ever sell it. Report this Post to the Staff

We're a dealer, so we're definitely trying to sell it. CoinValues online lists an MS65 for $900. Numismedia, which is the "Official Price Guide of NGC," lists an MS65 for $730. Thanks for the input guys, we're sending it off to be slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 08/05/2009 4:44 pm I think it is a 64 for sure, not sure if it's a 65. Report this Post to the Staff
