mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 06/30/2011 4:54 pm This is a beautiful coin I got in a lot of silver dimes I just purchased today. I don't see any problems with it at all. I just wonder is it even worth the trouble (and cost) to send out for grading if it's not that rare. Any opinions on grade? Mike Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 06/30/2011 5:26 pm Very hard to tell grade because of luster not showing up with the lighting of this picture. At least EF details. Not worth sending in though even if it's a low MS coin. Report this Post to the Staff

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 06/30/2011 7:43 pm I see wear on the hair (tho I might be wrong), which would make it AU. I agree with rachums107. Report this Post to the Staff
mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 06/30/2011 8:29 pm I wasn't sure what the going rate for slow service with grading now. Drdave, I see the wear you are talking about and I think I jumped the gun when I said MS. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 07/01/2011 10:55 am Yea that will look real nice in a book, but there looks to be a few too many hairlines that could be covered up by the lighting? Not positive, but still a solid example. Very close to FSB too! That might have made it worth slabbing. Report this Post to the Staff

schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 10:44 am It's a great looking coin , but I run into the exact same problem with mercs - Great luster, great condition but just not worth slabbing unless they're a key date. Report this Post to the Staff
