    jeez Marty...thought you bought a car...

    don't scare me like that...buying things like cars takes money away from what really important!

    65-90% FB. Obverse strike is not sharp enough for a 66. Nice coin overall!

    Nice coin, Marty. Doesn't look FB to me, but the reverse looks really nice. Is there a haze on the obverse or is that just the picture (or my eyes)?

    It looks like it is covered with little milk spots. I don't like it.

    I looks like an old-fashioned dime, from the early 1940's.

    Congratulations!

    Pretty tough to get a straight on picture of one of these things and show the strike correctly. Martys coin looks to have a prety nice strike to me both obverse and reverse. Grade wise I have no idea because pictures or scans will not show hairlines or slide marks.

    Nice coin im my opinion.

    Great job on the photo.

    My guess is it may go 65 if there aren't any hairlines.

    Based on the photos, it looks worth submitting (again, if no hairlines).
