Bust Dime Folks . . .

I just picked this up--any opinions as to grade? I'm assuming it's a common variety, but if anyone cares to attribute it, I'd be grateful.

    Thanks.


    Sunday night crowd? I was thinking it was VFish with a weakly-struck eagle.
  • I would call it an F-12 with a weak strike, but I have little experience in grading these, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
  • VG10... VG8 detail, but a bump for the AWESOME original color!! image Superb coin!! imageimage

    So let's forget my wishful thinking and call it F. Thanks for the props, George--I bought it for the color.
  • It could be a F12... the wear on the Reverse seems excessive though... The Obv does look closer to F15/VF20... but with the eagle obliterated on the reverse, that affected my grade, though it's possible it could be a characteristic of the variety... I have a Half-Dime where the top part of the shield is obliterated, but that was not caused by wear, but instead because of a die bulge...

  • I would agree that it's around the VG10 - F12 range. It is also the straight date variety. This is the last 3 high version.
