Looking at past heritage auctions, that was in the ballpark of a problem free VF certified example. This is an extremely TOUGH coin, are you going to send it in? Report this Post to the Staff
Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 08/07/2010 2:04 pm No Johnny54321, I'm not real big on sending coins off to have them graded. I might have a different opinion if I were concerned about value, but, as I stated in an earlier post, I collect coins for the sheer enjoment I get from the hobby. This one will go into the album with the rest of the circulated Seated Liberty dimes I've been able to put together on my way to completing a set (don't know if that's a realistic goal or not - some of the ones I don't have cost a scad of money...when you can find them).

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/07/2010 2:23 pm My suggestion for sending it in would be to confirm authenticity more than establishing value. An added mintmark is also a possibility given the huge value difference between the 1870 and 1870-s dime. I'm not saying it looks fake, I'd just want to be sure when spending that much. Anyways, nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 08/07/2010 8:41 pm I can certainly appreciate where you're coming from there. It'd be a bummer to have an 1870 with an added mint mark...I've got a 20X glass on hand to view it when it arrives - if I don't feel right about it, the seller has a 7 day return policy.....just have to wait until it gets here.

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 08/08/2010 2:58 pm Definitely AU details, look at the head detail and the corn kernels on the back. It doesn't have much wear, but is a weak strike. These can be tough and you have to look at those as indicators of wear often instead of overall detail. Report this Post to the Staff
