Would PCGS bag this?

I'm thinking they would bag it. Would it be worth trying?

dipped?

unless that's some uber rare half dime, it seems fake
What's going on with the eye?

Dime, I'd say, not half dime. She looks a little walleyed on some of the large-size issues.

I can't say whether they'd bag it or not. The hairlines might cause 'em to reject it, but they aren't too severe. Might get some leeway, considering what it is.

As to it being dipped, well, I'm always a lousy judge of that. Looks like maybe? But that doesn't mean they'd bag it. Plenty of dipped Bust coins get holdered.

I like it.

Edit to add a pic of one I just sold (dug by my detecting partner).



But it still is not the best example of the walleyed look. I had a SEGS VF30 that really had that look.

The eys is very strange, could you link to a slabbed one?

If for no other reason, they just might bag it for rim damage...bent at around 11:00 o'clock.

Rob I just took a shot of my square base 2 and emailed it to the email address in your profile. Since I din't know how to post pix, would you do the honors for comparative purposes? Thanks!

lordmarcovan

Boom's coin he wanted to post. (But I believe it's a half dollar?!?)

Boom

Thank you. I just have to learn to post pix here.

I found this one on the internet. It's of a dime. Compare the eyes. They look darn close to me. The numerals in the date also appear to be the same. I think it's genuine, but it looks too white to be original. I would expect a coin that old to be darker. It may have been cleaned in the past, but gently since it doesn't show much in the way of cleaning damage.

I should have said more when I posted it. Got in a hurry. I should have said it was a dime.

Cleaned at some point I'm sure. Not as bad as the image makes it look.
I was trying to get the scratches to show the most.
PCGS might let the cleaning slide but the damage worries me.
Wondering just how picky they get on a coin of this age.

Thanks for everyones post.

dorkkarl

why would you want that in a slab???

I probably wouldn't but it's a great example of an old coin with some minor damage.
When the time comes to sell the plastic would answer some of the buyers questions.

As bad as my pics are I could use all the help I can get.

PCGS would bag it "cleaned" 100% of the time.

It would be bagged for dipping, scratches, and a minor rim bump, IMO.

Definately a Dime... can't be a Half-Dime I believe they would BB it... I don't see much in the way of hairlines, except for the lines across (Which may just be it scruffed up) But I see it being BBed for cleaning, ,because it just looks that way.... or at least dipped... also the rim damage at 11:30 would probally earn a BB...
