Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 7:18 pm Bear with me as I try to hone my grading skills. I went with VF30 on this one - what do you think? There is a hit on the "N" in UNITED pushing metal up toward the top of the letter. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 7:26 pm I dunno. The obverse is nice, especially for a Seated coin - LIBERTY is strong and the head looks like a strong strike with honest wear. The reverse is weak, though, by comparison. If I worked for a TPG, I'd be more like, "20 or 25." Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 7:36 pm I think VF25+ is about right. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 11/20/2010 8:05 pm Thanks for the input! I don't feel so bad now, at least I'm in the ball park. I've always had a tendency to undergrade, so I tried to compensate maybe a little too much! Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 11/21/2010 01:53 am I think I would agree with SuperDave VF-20 Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/21/2010 5:35 pm I think this is better than VF-25, because of the lack of heavier wear on the corn kernels and shield strength. I'd say XF with a bad strike. Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 11/30/2010 8:18 pm I believe this coin to be a VF-30 to EF-45 Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/01/2010 09:01 am Very nice dime VF-30 to EF-40. No lower! I do not believe it has sufficient detail on the Obverse to make EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff
