Any comments about the toning and possible grade of this dime?

    I think it is Fine at best.I don't like the toneing at all.I'm not a Merc man.

  • My opinion, for what it's worth.

    The toning looks kind of funky to me. Ciould just be that I'm not a fan of toning and the few toned pieces I have liked have more of a rainbow tone to them.

    Grade, I would venture to guess High end F to low end VF.

  • Looks like a solid VF to me, but looks to be harshly cleaned or something, just looks odd.

    VF, but it looks like bad (harmful) cleaning.
