My coin photography skills SUCK! :( Lol! Chime in if you want. The "slash" across her jawbone and the black line are deep scratches on the holder and not on the coin itself. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! :)


@Smudge thank you for motivating me! :D
Edited to add....it is a 44-S. I just realized the Mintmark is not visible. Sorry

    Really hard to tell from those photos - sorry.
    I will guess MS-something, not FB, based on what I can see.
    Appears to have some pretty toning on the reverse.

    Added a second picture of the obverse from a different angle trying to get a better view...still bad. Sorry folks.

    Can say it is in a nice holder.

    With the photos provided, I'll guess 64.

    Sorry, but the photos just aren't good enough for a grading question.

    I specialize in Morgans but I'd "guess" this dime would bring a ~63. The top picture looks like a weak or worn rim near the top but I'm guessing that's just the picture.

    Thanks everyone. Photos borrowed from an old Heritage auction from 15 years ago. I prefer blazer white luster coins, but this one(price wise) was too good to pass on. Pretty happy with it.

    WOW what a pleasant surprise and a rare 'soap' slab :) Congrats!

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,497 ✭✭✭✭✭
