Take a look at this Barber Dime and

tell me what you think it might grade at. I know the scans aren't the greatest, but the luster is nice. I compared it to another 1912 I have that I know has been cleaned,.. like night and day.
I'm looking into a digital camera, just trying to figure out what will work well for coins and not cost a king's ransom. Thinking of a Nikon 4300.

    looks nice I would say AU53-55. AMER of America looks weakly struck, as do parts of reverse?

  • In fact, yes. The AMER in America is a little weak, as is the corn on the reverse. Left hand reverse leaf looks weak in the image, but it's only the lighting,... it's actually very strong on the left.
    I know it's not key date, but the cartwheel on this knocked me out. It was the first thing that caught my eye, and the reason I picked it up,.. not to mention the price was right.

    Looks like there could be some rub on the neck, forehead & corn ears on the rev. So it's either 58 or 63 from looking at the pictures.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Looks unc, but there some strike weakness. I'd say MS62-63 depending on hairlines and luster.

    Tough to tell if there's rub or not, so either AU58 or MS63. Could go 64, I don't see any distracting marks or hits, but the strike is on the weak side. Nice keeper regardless.
