I would appreciate your thoughts on if this dime is in good enough condition to be graded and if so what grade would you give it?πŸ€”

    Looks like an EF-40 (all letters of LIBERTY clear, band edges distinct).
    It doesn't have the luster / original surfaces to make AU.

    Retail value is $42 in a graded PCGS slab.

    Cost of slab/grading is like $50+, so not worth it.
    Easy enough to sell as is.

    for a straight just-unc 1915 along with several other dates/mm for the denom, not worth it under ms63 and barely then. i'd sell ms62/ish dimes in this range raw no prob. - toners, errors, better dates/mm etc a different story.

    I think it looks like a 50 if I interpret your pictures correctly. The Barber Dimes are starting to sell with the plastic premium added...so if you can send it in with enough coins I say yes.

    A great album coin but not worth the cost of slabbing.

    Anything is good enough to be graded. It all depends on what your goals/expectations are.

    I was thinking XF45 as well, and a nice album coin

    Thank you to everyone who took the time to post their opinions. 😎

    I am using a free voucher to have this graded for my brother who is a longtime collector but not a member. Will post results and pics upon receipt.

    Let's have some fun and keep posting opinions and grades if you so desireπŸ˜‰

    Wow... Late to the game, but guessed XF45... Very nice. I like that grade in silver coins. Cheers, RickO

    Agreed! I think a whole set of those in that grade would be a great set!
